In this volume, prominent citizenship theorist and legal scholar Peter J. Spiro explains citizenship through accessible terms and questions: what citizenship means, how you obtain citizenship (and how you lose it), how it has changed through history, what one receives from citizenship, and what entitles a person to citizenship, including dual citizenship and naturalization. Spiro provides a historical and critical perspective to a concept that is a part of our everyday discourse, providing a crucial contribution to our understanding of a central organizing principle of the modern world. aCitizenshipvDemographic--Social Aspect zUnited States
