The contributions in this volume offer original research on how social policies construct and redefine citizenship in contemporary Latin America. Covering a diverse range of social policies, including education, health and social assistance, the book shifts the academic focus from policy design to the experience of recipients. Using an intersectional framework, the chapters demonstrate how gender, ethnicity, and class interact with state programs to create distinct experiences of inclusion and exclusion. Spanning a diverse regional scope, contributions include country cases as well as comparisons and transnational analyses, demonstrating how public programs can broaden civic participation while simultaneously reproducing structural inequalities. This volume is an essential resource for scholars, students, and policymakers. It provides critical, empirical insights into the complex relationship between state capacity, social rights, and structural inequality. It will be of particular interest to researchers in gender studies, social policy, public policy, development studies, Latin American studies, and sociology.
