The Good Citizen by Ben Rasmussen

The Good Citizen by Ben Rasmussen

Through images taken by Rasmussen across dozens of states— introducing him to hundreds of people along the way—and essays by renowned legal scholar Frank H. Wu, the book seeks to provoke thought and conversation around the complicated nature of American identity. ‘The Good Citizen does not pretend to provide answers,’ says Rasmussen,“This is not a polemic, a textbook or a political tract. Rather, it is a series of images and essays that seek to provoke thought and conversation around the complicated nature of American identity.’

Benjamin Rasmussen is a Faroese/American photographer who grew up in the Philippines and moved to the United States as an adult. The Good Citizen work grew out of his journey to try and understand his own American identity. Over the past decade and a half his work has appeared within the pages of publications from Time to National Geographic to Vanity Fair and has been exhibited widely. Rasmussen’s collaborator on this project is renowned legal scholar Frank H. Wu. In 2020, Wu was appointed as President of Queens College of the City University of New York. He was a professor of law at Howard University Law School for a decade and during that time wrote Yellow: Race in America Beyond Black and White.
