For people who assume there can be no legitimate criticism of multiculturalism except from the xenophobic right, this book is a must read. This is a genuinely thoughtful critique of multiculturalism and its discontents, and why pluralism is a better goal for society. ( ) I absolutely love Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. I believe he was one of the greatest political scientists/historians in our generation. He is a fantastic writer and he is thorough in his research. This book is probably one of the shortest he has ever written (at least of what I have read thus far) but it is no less important. It is interesting and he really gives his observations of American society and the different cultures that are in it. I would classify this as a "must read" because it is a quick and easy read and his observations and reflections are on point and true. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"The promise of America has always been that of a fresh economic start on equal footing. This is linked to the classic image of the republic as a melting pot, where differences of class, race, and religion are submerged in the pursuit of democracy. But today the idea of assimilation into the mainstream is giving ground to the cult of ethnicity."--Publisher's description. No library descriptions found. |
