Book Description:

While the subject of citizenship has often been examined from a sociological, historical, or legal standpoint, historical archaeologists are yet to fully explore what it means to be an American from a material perspective. The Archaeology of Citizenship aims to fill that gap. Using a late-nineteenth-century California resort as a case study, Stacey Camp discusses how the parameters of citizenship and national belonging have been defined and redefined since Europeans arrived on the continent.
