       Naturalization in theory and practice. 
520    Between 2000 and 2011, eight million immigrants became 
       American citizens. In naturalization ceremonies large and 
       small these new Americans pledged an oath of allegiance to
       the United States, gaining the right to vote, serve on 
       juries, and hold political office; access to certain jobs;
       and the legal rights of full citizens. In The Road to 
       Citizenship, Sofya Aptekar analyzes what the process of 
       becoming a citizen means for these newly minted Americans 
       and what it means for the United States as a whole. 
       Examining the evolution of the discursive role of 
       immigrants in American society from potential traitors to 
       morally superior "super-citizens," Aptekar's in-depth 
       research uncovers considerable contradiction in the way 
       naturalization works today. She contends that debates 
       about immigration must be broadened beyond the current 
       focus on borders and documentation to include larger 
       questions about the definition of citizenship. Aptekar's 
       work brings into sharp relief key questions about the 
       overall system: does the current naturalization process 
       accurately reflect our priorities as a nation and the 
       values we wish to instill in new residents and citizens? 
       What are the implications of keeping the process the same 
       or changing it? Using archival research, interviews, 
       analysis of census and survey data, and participant 
       observation of citizenship ceremonies, The Road to 
       Citizenship demonstrates the ways in which naturalization 
       itself reflects the larger operations of social cohesion 
       and democracy in America. -- from back cover.
