The Good Citizen Summary

The Good Citizen by Ben Rasmussen

Through images taken by Rasmussen across dozens of states- introducing him to hundreds of people along the way-and essays by renowned legal scholar Frank H. Wu, the book seeks to provoke thought and conversation around the complicated nature of American identity. 'The Good Citizen does not pretend to provide answers,' says Rasmussen,This is not a polemic, a textbook or a political tract. Rather, it is a series of images and essays that seek to provoke thought and conversation around the complicated nature of American identity.'
