In Disenchanting Citizenship, Luis F. B. Plascencia examines two interrelated issues: U.S. citizenship and the Mexican migrants? position in the United States. The book explores the meaning of U.S. citizenship through the experience of a unique group of Mexican migrants who were granted Temporary Status under the ?legalization? provisions of the 1986 IRCA, attained Lawful Permanent Residency, and later became U.S. citizens. Plascencia integrates an extensive and multifaceted collection of interviews, ethnographic fieldwork, ethno-historical research, and public policy analysis in examining efforts that promote the acquisition of citizenship, the teaching of citizenship classes, and naturalization ceremonies. Ultimately, he unearths citizenship?s root as a Janus-faced construct that encompasses a simultaneous process of inclusion and exclusion. This notion of citizenship is mapped on to the migrant experience, arguing that the acquisition of citizenship can lead to disenchantment with the very status desired. In the end, Plascencia expands our understanding of the dynamics of U.S. citizenship as a form of membership and belonging. 606 $aNoncitizens$zUnited States 606 $aCitizenship$zUnited States 606 $aMexican Americans$xCivil rights 606 $aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions 606 $aMexicans$xMigrations 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 615 0$aNoncitizens 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aMexican Americans$xCivil rights. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aMexicans$xMigrations. 676 $a305.868/72073 700 $aPlascencia$b Luis F.
