Everything about Emancipation totally explained
Emancipation is a term used to describe various efforts to obtain
political rights or
equality, often for a specifically
disenfranchised group, or more generally in discussion of such matters.
The word was in common use in political affairs of 18th and 19th century political discourse, as in
Catholic or
Jewish emancipation movements (see the
emancipation page for more examples), while
female suffrage was a major goal of
women's emancipation movements.
Among others,
Karl Marx discussed political emancipation in his 1844 essay "
On the Jewish Question", although often in addition to (or in contrast with) the term
human emancipation. Marx's views of political emancipation in this work were summarized by one writer as entailing "equal status of individual citizens in relation to the state, equality before the law, regardless of religion, property, or other “private” characteristics of individual persons."
"Political emancipation" as a phrase is less common in modern usage, especially outside academic, foreign or activist contexts. However, similar concepts may be referred to by other terms. For instance, in the United States the
civil rights movement culminating in the
Voting Rights Act of 1965, can be seen as further realization of events such as the
Emancipation Proclamation and abolition of slavery a century earlier.
