Descriere magazin:
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? nHow 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 n nThe most comprehensive book on citizenship/immigration I\'ve ever read. A must-read!--Javier Zamora n nIn this one-of-a-kind book, Daisy Hernández 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, her father a political refugee from Castro\'s Cuba--Hernández shows how the very idea of citizenship is a myth and part of the stories we tell ourselves about the American soul and psyche. n nReframing 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, Hernández 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.n
