Dual nationality was once considered an offense to nature  an abomination on the order of bigamy. It was the stuff of titanic battles between the United States and European sovereigns. As those conflicts dissipated  dual citizenship continued to be an oddity  a condition that  if not quite freakish  was nonetheless vaguely disreputable  a status one could hold but not advertise. Even today  some Americans mistakenly understand dual citizenship to somehow be illegal  when in fact it is completely tolerated. Only recently has the status largely shed the opprobrium to which it was once attached.  At Home in Two Countries charts the history of dual citizenship from strong disfavor to general acceptance. The status has touched many; there are few Americans who do not have someone in their past or present who has held the status  if only unknowingly. The history reflects on the course of the state as an institution at the level of the individual. The state was once a jealous institution  justifiably demanding an exclusive relationship with its members. Today  the state lacks both the capacity and the incentive to suppress the status as citizenship becomes more like other forms of membership. Dual citizenship allows many to formalize sentimental attachments. For others  its a new way to game the international system. This book explains why dual citizenship was once so reviled  why it is a fact of life after globalization  and why it should be embraced today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665847345205,"sku":"ByrdShop_0814785824","price":53.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780814785829.jpg?v=1782410058","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/at-home-in-two-countries-the-past-and-future-of-dual-citizenship-citizenship-and-migration-in-the-americas-11-9780814785829","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
