Book Description:
|
This book analyses religious work for the marginalized from the perspective of citizenship and otherness. The articles try to answer the question of whether religion makes a contribution to a growing recognition of human rights in society or if current philantropic and religious work for the marginalized re-introduces disciplinary practices which threaten the more substantial and universal citizenship. The theoretical starting point are Michel Foucault's studies about heterotopic places.
