Citizenship, Rights, and Divisive Rhetoric

This chapter explores the importance of Citizenship Day and the experiences related to naturalization, while addressing modern challenges in voting rights and immigration politics. It highlights the manipulative tactics that disenfranchise specific voter groups, especially women and minorities, and critiques recent political narratives surrounding these issues. The discourse extends to the normalization of hate speech and the troubling relationship between anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in contemporary politics, advocating for unity among minority communities to combat systemic oppression.
