Awakening Citizenship: Rights Meet Bearers
Awakening Citizenship: Rights Meet Bearers
This chapter discusses the relationship between victimhood and citizenship as it is articulated in the work of a Muslim advocacy group, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). It begins with a brief history of CAIR and then moves on to the ways in which CAIR mediates and strives to establish fluency between rights (American law) and their bearers (Muslims). It concludes with a discussion of the cultivation of civility and an argument on negative incorporation.
