En él, Daisy Hernández se adentra, con perspicacia y precisión, en uno de los temas más complejos de la vida y la política contemporáneas: la ciudadanía. Teje una historia nacional desde una mirada personal, al profundizar en el debate más actual en Estados Unidos: ¿quién pertenece y quién no pertenece a un país? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCon su inigualable talento narrativo, Hernández entrecruza memorias familiares, costumbres de sus padres en Colombia y Cuba, sucesos personales, con pasajes fundamentales de la historia mundial, usando la crítica cultural como punto de partida para desnudar mitos persistentes. Conmovedor, valiente y tierno a partes iguales, \u003ci\u003eCiudadanía\u003c\/i\u003e es un poderoso retrato de las experiencias de los emigrantes y una iluminadora reflexión sobre la pertenencia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eA provocative, personal, blazingly intelligent examination of one of the most vexing questions facing the United States today: Who is, and should be, a citizen?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“How did ‘Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free’ turn upside down to where we are today?

Brilliant!”—Sandra Cisneros\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e“The most comprehensive book on citizenship\/immigration I’ve ever read. A must-read!”—Javier Zamora.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eIn this one-of-a-kind book, Daisy Hernández fiercely interrogates one of the most complicated subjects of contemporary life and politics: citizenship. Braiding memoir, history, and cultural criticism, she exposes the truths and lies of how we define ourselves as a country and a people. Turning to her own family’s stories—her mother arrived from Colombia, while her father was a political refugee from Castro’s Cuba—Hernández shows how the very idea of citizenship is a myth, one of the stories we tell ourselves about the American soul and psyche.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReframing our understanding of what it means to be an American, \u003ci\u003eCitizenship\u003c\/i\u003e is an urgent and necessary account of the laws, customs, and language we use to include and exclude, especially those who come from Latin America. With her scholar’s mind and memoirist’s gift for narrative, Hernández weaves a story both personal and national, while reckoning with our country’s ongoing debate about who belongs and providing fresh ways of thinking about citizenship. At once bracing, fearless, and tender, Citizenship is a powerful portrait of one family’s experiences in the borderlands of citizenship and an honest illumination of the country in which we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDAISY HERNÁNDEZ - \u003c\/b\u003eAutora de \u003ci\u003eThe Kissing Bug\u003c\/i\u003e, ensayo ganador del PEN\/Jean Stein, seleccionado como lectura inaugural del Programa Ciencia + Literatura de la Fundación Nacional del Libro.
