Federal Textbook on Citizenship. Our United States. Becoming a Citizen Series. Book 2. Revised 1973.
Immigration and Naturalization Service (Dept. of Justice), Washington, DC.
This Federal textbook on citizenship is designed to familiarize immigrants with the United States and the English language. Comprised of 17 chapters, the first few introduce the foreign-born to the American community, help him find a home, a job, and the security available to him despite his alien status. Several other chapters, namely, "Work in America,""Our American Ways," and "Getting Ahead in America" accustom him to the opportunities, services, and diversity of the United States. Three chapters on United States history and the Constitution introduce our present governmental system. Two more chapters describe the people and the events that made America a world power. The final chapters deal with attaining citizenship and voting intelligently. The text concludes with the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Each chapter contains questions stressing the proper usage of new terms and reinforcing the ideas covered in the text. A glossary at the end of the text helps the student with difficult terms. Related documents are ED 059 920 and ED 059 111. (JH)
