The title for this lecture by Dan-el Padilla Peralta, Professor of Classics at Princeton University, references a series of court opinions in 1901 that marked a decisive turn in the United States’ practice of what has since become known as ‘differentiated citizenship.’ Working backwards from this historical conjecture, Dr. Padilla Peralta examines the appearance of systems of differentiated citizenship in the Greco-Roman Mediterranean and comments on their reception in several modern colonial (and postcolonial) contexts. He is the author of Undocumented: A Dominican Boy’s Odyssey from a Homeless Shelter to the Ivy League.
