True Faith and Allegiance: Immigration and American Civic Nationalism. By Noah Pickus. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. xiv, 257 pp. $35.00, ISBN 0-691-12172-9.)

At the end of the twentieth century, the concept of "citizenship" was the hot topic among some of the most prominent historians.
