Unfolding the Crease in Liberal Republican Citizenship: An Introduction to the Post-colonial Critique of Andres Guerrero (in Focaal: Journal of Global and Historical Anthropology 63) (original) (raw)

The article presents an unedited translation of the final chapter of Andrés Guerrero's work on the political history of populations in post-colonial contexts, particularly focusing on the interplay between citizenship, inequality, and state administration. Guerrero's analysis extends from Ecuador's historical practices to contemporary issues faced by African migrants in Europe, exploring the nuances of citizenship and the implications of administrative power across contexts. Through an emotive lens, the work interrogates the connections between historical and current sociopolitical dynamics.
