SARZURI-LIMA, Marcelo. Conflictive citizenship Ethnic-cultural dilemmas in the periphery of the South. Rev. de Inv. Educ. [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.2, pp.59-76. ISSN 1997-4043.

Citizenship is an important concept for the understanding of modern political communities; however, its universalization has always been conflictive, especially in territories that have not achieved to overcome the imagined or actual practices of ethno-cultural exclusion and discrimination. This essay shows the heterogeneous politics that emerge from the difference between the governed and the governing. On the one hand, it shows the application of liberal citizenship politics and how these have been converted into politics of a tailored modernity; in other words, without a universal recognition of the real and effective inequality of all political subjects. On the other hand, it posits that citizenship is a history of social conquests, generated from the struggle over the expansion of the conditions of inequality. These approaches lead us to present a reconceptualization of the public space where the many exist, in a socio-political sense, as being many.
