Citizens of the World deals with the Baha'is and their religion. While covering the historical development in sufficient detail to serve as a general monograph on Baha'i, emphasis is laid on examining contemporary Baha'i, with the Danish Baha'i community as a recurrent case.
The book discusses Baha'i religious texts, rituals, economy, everyday life, demographic development, mission strategies, leadership, and international activism in analyses based on primary material, such as interview studies among the Baha'is, fieldwork data from the Baha'i World Centre in Israel, and field trips around the world.
The approach is a combination of history of religions and sociology of religion within a theoretical framework of religion and globalisation. Several general topics in the study of new religions are covered. The book contributes to the theoretical study of globalisation by proposing a new model for analysing globalisation and transnational religions.

Citizens of the World A History And Sociology of the Baha'is in a Globalisation Perspective
I've just got the 1997 edition, which I flip through occasionally out of interest. I'm not holding the fact that it's out of date, at least in the areas of gay rights, against it. My problem is more that the book seems to just slam most of the parts of the law dealing with gender and/or sexuality together, with no rhyme or reason for how it works. "But it's all related!" I hear the theorists replying. Well yes, it is, but there's no single ideological theme here (compare to a work like MacKinnon's "Toward a Feminist Theory of the State," which is downright seamless) through which to work (just a lot of shout outs to Butler and Foucault et al.). Without one, you just have a mishmash.
Finally, some of the editorial choices in terms of content are mind-boggling. There's only like 30 pages here on sexual assault,and most of that is just Rusk.
