With birthright citizenship on the Supreme Court docket in the case Trump v. Barbara, the largely unexplored history of popular discourse on this topic is especially relevant, Lawrence Glickman, the Stephen and Evalyn Milman Professor in American Studies in the College of Arts and Sciences writes in The Atlantic.
