This overwhelmingly liberal discursive
consensus, of course, has long been a profound
source of frustration and criticism by
liberalism’s opponents, especially on the
left, who seek more radical change than they
think liberalism can deliver (Wolff, 1969;
Marcuse, 1991). Other chapters of this book,
in elaborating non-liberal notions of citizenship,
address explicitly or implicitly many
of the most important of liberalism’s perceived
limitations. Hence, I can limit my
review of the challenges to liberal citizenship
accordingly.
