One year into Donald Trump's presidency, the US 2016 presidential election is still being fought by both parties.

10 Steps to Naturalization is a straightforward roadmap that explains how to become a U.S. citizen with confidence and clarity.

It outlines how to prepare and submit Form N-400, gather supporting documents, and navigate biometrics, background checks, and the naturalization interview.

What if understanding one government form could open the door to U.S. citizenship—and transform your students’ confidence along the way? This guide, Understanding Key Concepts Found in Form N-400, is designed to help adult citizenship teachers explain the essential language, structures, and ideas embedded in the naturalization application. It breaks the form into eight core concept areas—naming conventions, addresses, family relationships, employment and schooling, duration of time, perfect-tense question structures (“have you ever”), memberships and associations, and promises and oaths.

Citizenship in the nineteenth-century United States was an ever-moving target. The Constitution did not specify its exact meaning, leaving lawmakers and other Americans to struggle over the fundamental questions of who could be a citizen, how a person attained the status, and the particular privileges citizenship afforded. Black people suffered under this ambiguity, but also seized on it in efforts to transform their nominal freedom.

Denise Dresser presenta una lectura urgente y necesaria: López Obradorsedujo a millones con su promesa de salvaguardar la democracia y ser un antídoto contra la regresión política y social de México. Hoy la distancia entre aquella esperanza y la realidad es insalvable. AMLO ha erosionado, con palabras y hechos, la institucionalidad deficitaria, reemplazándola con un ejercicio de gobierno centrado sólo en él, rodeado de verde olivo. Por improvisación, por prisa, y por mala administración, heredará bombas de tiempo a su sucesora.

Political turmoil surrounding immigration at the federal level and the inability of Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform have provided an opening for state and local governments to become more active in setting their own immigration-related policies. States largely dictate the resources, institutions, and opportunities immigrants can access: who can get a driver’s license or attend a state university, what languages are spoken in schools and public offices, how law enforcement interacts with the public, and even what schools teach students about history.

Generations of Americans have regarded schools as essential for developing the knowledge and civic values necessary for sustaining democracy. Yet, as Matthew D. Nelsen argues in The Color of Civics, traditional approaches to civic education are not living up to their promise for many students, particularly students of color from disadvantaged communities. Drawing on lessons from students and teachers in Chicago, The Color of Civics reimagines the democratic purpose of civic education.
