There are those in America today who seem to feel we must audition for our citizenship, with "patriot" offered as the badge for those found narrowly worthy. Let this book stand as Wendell Berry's application, for he is one of those faithful, devoted critics envisioned by the Founding Fathers to be the life's blood and very future of the nation they imagined. Citizenship Papers collects nineteen new essays, from celebrations of exemplary lives to critiques of American life, including "A Citizen's Response [to the new National Security Strategy]"―a ringing call of caution to a nation standing on the brink of global catastrophe.

"The political import of complex current events requires great urgency, clarity and care. Nothing less than the future of our nation is at stake. Wendell Berry's CITIZENSHIP PAPERS, collecting 19 new essays, is a ringing alarm, a call for resistance and responsibility, and a reminder of how fragile our commonwealth has become at the dawn of the 21st century."[]"There are those in America today who seem to feel we must audition for our citizenship, with 'Patriot' offered as the badge for those found narrowly worthy. Let this book stand as Wendell Berry's application, for he is one of those faithful, devoted critics envisioned by the Founding Fathers to be the life's blood and very future of the nation they imagined. Adams, Jefferson and Madison would have found great clarity in his prose and great hope in his vision. And today's readers will be moved and encouraged by his refusal to surrender in the face of desperate odds. Books get written for all sorts of reasons, and this book was written out of necessity."
