Hardback. Zustand: Good. A provocative, personal, blazingly intelligent examination of one of the most vexing questions facing the United States today: Who is, and should be, a citizen? " A fascinating, urgently needed new book."-Chicago Tribune "How did 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free' turn upside down to where we are today? Everyone needs to read this book, citizens and non-citizens alike. Brilliant!"-Sandra Cisneros "The most comprehensive book on citizenship/immigration I've ever read. A must-read!"-Javier Zamora "The book I have always wanted to read."-Jose Antonio Vargas "Personal, profound, engaging, and comprehensive . . . this is an essential book for these contentious times."-Booklist (starred review) A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR: Chicago Review of Books, Autostraddle, Publishers Lunch In this one-of-a-kind book, Daisy Hernandez fiercely interrogates one of the most complicated subjects of contemporary life and politics: citizenship. Braiding memoir, history, and cultural criticism, she exposes the truths and lies of how we define ourselves as a country and a people. Turning to her own family's stories-her mother arrived from Colombia, while her father was a political refugee from Castro's Cuba-Hernandez shows how the very idea of citizenship is a myth, one of the stories we tell ourselves about the American soul and psyche. Reframing our understanding of what it means to be an American, Citizenship is an urgent and necessary account of the laws, customs, and language we use to include and exclude, especially those who come from Latin America. With her scholar's mind and memoirist's gift for narrative, Hernandez weaves a story both personal and national, while reckoning with our country's ongoing debate about who belongs and providing fresh ways of thinking about citizenship. At once bracing, fearless, and tender, Citizenship is a powerful portrait of one family's experiences in the borderlands of citizenship and an honest illumination of the country in which we live.…
