N2  - Drawing on the Athenian tradition of "wielding citizenship as a weapon to defend a contingently defined polis," the author has crafted an elegant and sophisticated analysis of the contemporary policies designed to contain and criminalize Latina/os. Drawing on contemporary conflicts between Latino/as and anti-immigrant forces, the book illustrates the limitations of liberalism as expressed through U.S. media channels. Inspired by Latin American critical scholarship on the "coloniality of power," the author demonstrates that nativists use the privileges associated with citizenship to accumulate power. That power is deployed to aggressively shape politics, culture, and the law, effectively undermining Latino/as who are marked by the ethno-racial and linguistic difference that nativists love to hate. Yet these social characteristics present crucial challenges to the political, legal, and cultural practices that define citizenship. This book demonstrates that the evolution of the idea of citizenship in the United States and the political and cultural practices that define it are intricately intertwined with nativism
