Klappentext In this age of multicultural democracy, the idea of assimilation seems outdated and, in some forms, even offensive.

Surveying a variety of domains--language, socioeconomic attachments, residential patterns, and intermarriage--they demonstrate the continuing importance of assimilation in American life.
