Sofya Aptekar

The Road to Citizenship

What Naturalization Means for Immigrants and the United States

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Between 2000 and 2011, eight million immigrants became American citizens. Sofya Aptekar analyses what the process of becoming a citizen means for these newly minted Americans and what it means for the US as a whole. Examining the evolution of the discursive role of immigrants in American society from potential traitors to morally superior "supercitizens”, Aptekar's research uncovers contradictions with the way naturalization works today.
