Abstract
(type = abstract)
The goal of this project is to analyze the confluence of factors that is resulting in a changing understanding and application of citizenship in the United States. As fears of citizen terrorism rise and the government implements new policies to combat terror, there is a shift in policy taking place as well as a divergence between policy and practice. Using the story of the targeted killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen who left the United States, joined Al Qaeda, and began advocating for the destruction of the West, I explore how these changes have led to a broader change in citizenship as a concept. By reviewing scholarly literature on citizenship, by examining American policies and practices with regard to citizenship across all three branches of government and across history, and by linking the concept of a collective American identity to citizenship, I have shown that there are several factors simultaneously facilitating continuity and change taking place in the realm of citizenship.
