This entails a form of neoliberal citizenship in which social security is replaced by market insecurity and rising inequality. In this light, the citizen becomes an \"imperial subject\" whose needs and desires have been colonized by the global market. However, emerging social forces in Latin America and elsewhere have begun to challenge this imperialist logic, fostering a resistance that may bring forth a new global vision of citizenship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis unique analysis draws together neoliberal citizenship, new imperialism, and the creation of 'financial subjects' into an innovative theoretical exploration. By expanding the debate on global citizenship,\u003ci\u003e Imperial Subjects\u003c\/i\u003e will engage readers in political and social sciences interested in contemporary political thought, citizenship, and globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eColin Mooers\u003c\/b\u003e is a Professor of Politics and Cultural Theory at Toronto Metropolitan University, Toronto, Canada.
