Why we picked this
In Miami — a city built by immigration — Hernandez asks who gets to claim American citizenship and what that word actually means. Free at Books & Books.
Daisy Hernandez draws on her family’s immigrant experience from Colombia and Cuba to ask questions that feel especially urgent in Miami: Who is a citizen? Who should be? What does belonging mean when the rules keep changing?
“Citizenship” blends memoir, investigative reporting, and historical analysis into something that reads like literature but argues like law. Free at Books & Books in Coral Gables, co-presented with Americans for Immigrant Justice.
