<p>“Angela Banks has written a book that proposes powerful concepts and questions for the civic education curriculum.”</p>

<p>“In addition to providing an interdisciplinary rationale for an approach to civics education that is grounded in the necessary interrogation of exclusionary boundaries in taken-for-granted principles such as those commonly accepted about citizenship, Banks incisively demonstrates how these unquestioned democratic ideals also mask racism, classism, and other forms of prejudice and discrimination.”</p>
<p>—<strong>Journal of Ethnic and Cultural Studies</strong></p>

This important book offers an inclusive approach to preparing students to be responsible participants in a democratic society. Civic education generally operates through the lens of citizenship, where students learn what good citizenship is and what good citizens do. Yet the citizenship lens fails to identify the wide range of schoolchildren and their families who participate in economic, political, and social life. Civic Education in the Age of Mass Migration examines the exclusionary aspects of citizenship and offers democratic societies an alternative approach that includes all long-term residents regardless of citizenship and immigration status. Banks reimagines a civic education curriculum that gives secondary students the knowledge and skills needed to move the United States toward a more perfect union. Book Features: A brief overview of the history of civic education and why citizenship status and immigration status should be explicitly addressed.An examination of the economic, political, and social forces shaping immigration law. A new way to conceptualize membership based on three principles: popular sovereignty, participation, and the jus nexi principle.Classroom activities and discussion questions to help civic educators incorporate the idea of citizenship boundaries into their curriculum.

“In this powerful and groundbreaking book, Angela Banks draws on a wide range of legal, social science, and educational evidence to address the inadequate treatment of citizenship in civic education. She provides brilliant interdisciplinary analysis as well as concrete teaching examples to push civic education to consider citizenship as a site of exclusion, not assumed inclusion.” —Hirokazu Yoshikawa, Courtney Sale Ross Professor of Globalization and Education and University Professor, New York University
