We invite you to listen with us as forty-six people from twenty-one countries on six continents thoughtfully explore through memoirs, essays, interviews, and poetry their complex relationships to U.S. citizenship, residency, and their individual sense of community and belonging-as birthright citizens with little direct acquaintance with the U.S., naturalized citizens, dual (or triple) citizens by birth or choice, serial citizens, asylees, diversity lottery winners, lifetime expats, U.S. or global families with differing citizenship statuses and cultural attachments, undocumented residents with a keen desire for citizenship, or lifetime permanent resident aliens with none. Why do we come, stay, go, commit, 'Americanize'? Where DO we belong? Each story here presents us with a unique and changing constellation of allegiances and answers-all of which help us understand better what is involved in fostering an increasingly inclusive sense of community and belonging where we live today.
