Features: This book is the lecture manuscript of Harvard political professor Judith Shklar delivered at the "Tanner Lectures" at the University of Utah in the United States in 1989. It focuses on the two core elements that constitute "citizenship" in American democratic society: voting and income. The author outlines the tortuous history of African American slaves and white women fighting for the right to vote and work, striving to critically demonstrate that in the modern pluralistic society of the United States, which promises political equality and inclusiveness, numerous phenomena of discrimination and inequality still persist. The historical evolution and realistic issues of American citizenship cannot be ignored.
