Abstract
This chapter investigates several complex and interrelated systems that conflate race and nationality in data collection, popular discourse, policies, and social justice efforts. Using examples drawn from autoethnographic accounts, research studies, census documents, higher education, and legal opinions, the chapter reveals how the ontological and analytical differences between race and nation are often flattened and used to construct narratives of who belongs and who is considered “other.” Applying critical race theory, intersectionality, and settler colonialism frameworks, Nancy López illustrates how attending to nation and race unveils the interconnected dynamics of difference, power, inequality, and discrimination in the US body politic. These critical lenses are then applied to race and nationality questions from the 2020 US census survey and examples of race-sensitive programs in higher education. Drawing guidance from United Nations statements on race over several years, the author offers visions for dismantling oppression based on false connections between race, ethnicity, citizenship, and belonging.
