ABSTRACT In 2009, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employed a multipronged communications campaign to encourage Arab Americans in Detroit, MI, to apply for employment. Adapting Althusser’s notion of interpellation, this article examines how this government agency’s communications exacerbated the conditional, incomplete status of Arab American citizenship in post-9/11 America. At this precarious time, facially inclusive gestures can be understood as exclusive practices. This beckons more scholarly attention to how government communication implicates citizenship.

中央情报局如何招募底特律阿拉伯人：政府沟通、质询和公民身份

摘要 2009 年，中央情报局 (CIA) 开展了一项多管齐下的宣传活动，以鼓励密歇根州底特律的阿拉伯裔美国人申请就业。本文采用阿尔都塞的质询概念，研究了该政府机构的通讯如何加剧了 9/11 后美国阿拉伯裔美国公民的有条件的、不完整的地位。在这个不稳定的时期，面部包容的手势可以理解为排他性的做法。这引起了学术界对政府沟通如何影响公民身份的更多关注。
