Transnational America - Cultural Pluralist Thought in the Twentieth Century

In Transnational America, Everett Akam brilliantly addresses one of the most fundamental issues of our time--how Americans might achieve a sense of racial and ethnic identity while simultaneously retaining the common ground of shared traditions and citizenship. This book transcends the current debates over multiculturalism and cultural pluralism by retrieving the tradition of cultural pluralist thought neglected since the first half of the twentieth century.

Riassunto

The uniqueness of the many American ethnicities provides the roots of US identity, yet recognizing those differences often makes Americans feel isolated from the whole. This work relies on the tradition of cultural pluralism to argue that unity and individuality are not mutually exclusive.
