Citizenship
Notes on an American Myth
Book •
In 'Citizenship: Notes on an American Myth,' journalist Daisy Hernández dismantles common assumptions about U.S.
citizenship, tracing historical and contemporary examples where citizenship fails to guarantee protection or equal treatment.
She combines personal narrative, historical research, and social critique to show how citizenship functions unevenly across race, class, and geography.
Hernández explores topics such as investor-based pathways to residency, denaturalization threats, state-level disparities in rights, and how foreign policy shapes migration patterns.
The book argues for rethinking membership and belonging beyond legal status and highlights movements and solidarities that expand social citizenship.
It offers both a diagnosis of current injustices and suggestions for imagining more inclusive forms of belonging.
