Ingenious Citizenship by Charles T Lee

In Ingenious Citizenship Charles T. Lee centers the daily experiences of migrant domestic workers, sex workers, transgender people, and suicide bombers in his rethinking of models of social change to show how ingenious and subversive acts disrupt traditional practices of liberal citizenship in order to exercise political agency.
"[Lee] recrafts not only democratic notions of agency, but also what we mean when we say 'political theory' and think about its relationship to how we act in the world" - Bogdan Popa (Contemporary Political Theory) "Lee draws one into the text through his provocative, outside the box exploration of social change. All in all, Lee has laid the groundwork for a new theory of everyday resistance as a potential force of radical social change. . . . ." - Michael T. Rogers (New Political Science)
Charles T. Lee is Assistant Professor of Justice and Social Inquiry in the School of Social Transformation at Arizona State University.
