Resumen de Staatsbürgerschaft, Gender und globale Ungleichheiten
The category gender has marked the institution of citizenship from the modern / colonial outset, and both citizenship and gender have been providing crucial factors for extreme inequalities between countries. In order to elaborate on this thesis, the article introduces a global and postcolonial perspective on citizenship and gender. In a second step, the article discusses »acts of citizenship« such as marriage, motherhood and sex tourism to subvert, reinscribe and appropriate engendered colonial-racialized structures. Finally, the article advocates a stronger focus on persistent colonial intersectional gender relations for the analysis of global power structures.
