title = "Studying Political Community from the Citizen Up",
abstract = "During fieldwork in west Mexico in 2007 and 2010 and in California in 2008 and 2010, one of my interview questions was: {\textquoteleft}Is it sometimes easier not to be a citizen?{\textquoteright} I asked the question to gauge how my interviewees viewed their civic duties and obligations, and whether citizenship might sometimes appear a burden. Several Anglo1 Californian interviewees responded by listing the duties expected of them as citizens. In Mexico, some interviewees responded in similar terms, but others replied in a way that I had not anticipated. They said it was not really possible not to be a citizen.",
