This volume investigates the complex intersection of race, citizenship, and immigration status in the United States to understand how national identity is constructed and contested. Edited by John S.W. Park and Shannon Gleeson, the collection brings together scholars from sociology, history, and ethnic studies to examine how institutional structures and social hierarchies shape the experiences of migrants and denizens. The authors argue that traditional narratives of the United States as a 'nation of immigrants' often obscure the systemic racialization and legal exclusions that define the lived reality of many residents.
What You Will Find
Scholars and students of sociology and ethnic studies frequently cite this collection as a vital resource for understanding the structural mechanisms of racial inequality in the modern United States. The text is noted for its interdisciplinary approach, providing both historical depth and contemporary analysis that is suitable for academic research and advanced undergraduate coursework.
