About the book: Over the last two centuries, the US government has revoked citizenship to cast out its unwanted, suppressed dissent, and denied civil rights to all considered “un-American”—whether due to their race, ethnicity, marriage partner, or beliefs. Drawing on the narratives of those who have struggled to be treated as full members of “We the People,” law professor Amanda Frost exposes a hidden history of discrimination and xenophobia that continues to this day.

The Parish Summer Reading Project is sponsored by SOLAR, which consists of the Parish's Laudato Si Circle, Solidarity Ministry and the Anti-Racism Committee.
