A bold new book exposes how American citizenship is eroding—and offers a blueprint to restore civic trust.

MIAMI, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On Citizenship Day, September 17, Statera Press (an imprint of Deriva Publishing) announces the release of The Allegiance Paradox: Beyond the Law — How Ethical Erosion and Policy Drift Undermine American Citizenship, a timely and thought-provoking book by author and independent scholar Sebastian Saviano.

As debates rage over immigration, dual citizenship, and civic trust, The Allegiance Paradox argues that American citizenship is drifting away from its civic core. Through legal analysis, comparative international insights, and reform proposals, the book reveals how allegiance has weakened and what must be done to restore it.

Key themes explored in The Allegiance Paradox include:

• Dual citizenship and national security — how divided loyalties undermine trust in government service.
• Birthright citizenship — rethinking jus soli and the Fourteenth Amendment in an era of global migration.
• The Oath of Allegiance — why America must reclaim the oath as a living civic contract.
• Commodification of citizenship — the rise of passports-for-sale and investor visas.
• Trust and democratic stability — why allegiance, responsibility, and civic participation matter more than ever.

"Citizenship has become hollow, stripped of its deeper civic meaning," said author Sebastian Saviano. "We must restore it as a living covenant of trust and responsibility if democracy is to endure."

Well-timed and urgent, the book emphasizes that reform is not about exclusion but about reconnecting citizenship to shared democratic purpose. Without action, Saviano warns, America risks a deeper collapse of civic trust.

The Allegiance Paradox launches nationally on September 17, 2025, aligning with Citizenship Day, when the nation reflects on what it means to belong.
