Based on years of e thnographic research on France’s present antiracist movement and mobilizati on against state violence\, Jean Beaman introduces a framework of “suspect citizenship\,” which demonstrates how ethnoracial minorities are constantly outside of the boundaries of full societal inclusion. She argues that post colonial plural societies like France position certain populations as suspe ct or suspicious due to their ethnoracial assignment. Dr. Beaman examines s uspect citizenship at the nexus between active citizenship\, belonging/non- belonging\, antiracism at a macro level\, and activism against state violen ce. She considers how certain populations are automatically rendered suspic ious or suspect by virtue of their ethnoracial assignment on micro and macr o levels and how this construction of citizenship is not just a postcolonia l formation. The analysis explores how we can understand how individuals re sist their categorization as suspect through examining mobilization against state violence\, as well as how suspect citizenship exists without state r ecognition of ethnoracial difference. Suspect citizenship is therefore a fr amework and mode for understanding and making sense of how colonial hierarc hies are maintained in postcolonial or neocolonial societies.
