Tapping into history, politics, and literature, she elucidates how accidents of birth-such as national origin, race, and gender-that once determined the boundaries of Americanness still cast their shadows today, poignantly illustrating how white supremacy survives through adaptation and legislation. Weaving together her experiences with an examination of the place of nonwhites in the broader American culture, Lalami illuminates how conditional citizens are all those whom America embraces with one arm and pushes away with the other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Laila Lalami","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44267528126524,"sku":"9780525436041","price":2545.75,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/9780525436041.jpg?v=1776843584","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/conditional-citizens-on-belonging-in-america","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
