This book analyses religious work for the marginalized from the perspective of citizenship and otherness. The articles try to answer the question if religion makes a contribution to a growing recognition of human rights in society or if current philantropical and religious work for the marginalized re-introduce disciplinary practices which threaten the more substantial and universal citizenship. The theoretical starting point are Michel Foucaults studies about heterotopic places.
