Citizenship Under Fire: The Forging Of The New Americans, Shruti Rana Jan 2011

Citizenship Under Fire: The Forging Of The New Americans, Shruti Rana

Faculty Scholarship

This essay reviews and critiques two new books on the debate over immigration and citizenship, Anna O. Law, The Immigration Battle in American Courts, and Ediberto Roman, Citizenship and Its Exclusions: A Classical, Constitutional, and Critical Race Critique.

While rejecting traditional representative democracy as an adequate …
