This nexus of disconcerting textual dynamics arises precisely insofar as both citizen/subject and national identity depend upon a certain alterity, an ""other"" which constitutes the secondary term of a binary structure. ""American"" identity thus finds itself ironically con-fused and interwoven with another culture or another nation, double-crossed in the enactment of itself.
