Although it is usually assumed that only the federal government can
confer citizenship, localities often give residents who are
noncitizens at the federal level the benefits of local citizenship:
access to medical care, education, housing, security, labor and
consumer markets, and even voting rights. In this work, Kenneth A.
Stahl demonstrates that while the existence of these 'noncitizen
citizens' has helped to reconcile competing commitments within
liberal democracy to equality and community, the advance of
globalization and the rise of nationalist political leaders like
Donald Trump has caused local and federal citizenship to clash. For
nationalists, localities' flexible approach to citizenship is a
Trojan horse undermining state sovereignty from within, while
liberals see local citizenship as the antidote to a reactionary
ethnic nationalism. This book should be read by anyone who wants to
understand why citizenship has become one of the most important
issues in national politics today.
