The melting pot concept has shifted to multiculturalism, particularly evident in public schools where a Eurocentric curriculum has been replaced by a focus on diversity, often leading to confrontation and confusion. Nathan Glazer provides clarity on this transformation, examining why both advocates and skeptics have embraced multiculturalism and its implications for national unity, civil society, and education. He addresses key concerns surrounding multicultural education, such as whose "truth" is represented in the curriculum, whether an emphasis on ethnic roots strengthens or undermines national unity amidst global challenges, and if highlighting social injustices fosters harmony or discord. Glazer argues that multiculturalism emerged from mainstream society's failure to assimilate African Americans, whose anger and frustration led to a rejection of exclusionary traditions. He asserts that "we are all multiculturalists now," offering insights into the complexities of this new identity and encouraging reflection on its impact and significance.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The melting pot no longer defines us. Where not very long ago we sought assimilation, we now pursue multiculturalism. Nowhere has this transformation been more evident than in the public schools, where a traditional Eurocentric curriculum has yielded to diversity - and, often, to confrontation and confusion. In a book that brings clarity and reason to this highly charged issue, Nathan Glazer explores these sweeping changes. He offers an incisive account of why we all - advocates and skeptics alike - have become multiculturalists, and what this means for national unity, civil society, and the education of our youth. Focusing particularly on the impact in public schools, Glazer dissects the four issues uppermost in the minds of people on both sides of the multicultural fence: Whose 'truth' do we recognize in the curriculum Will an emphasis on ethnic roots undermine or strengthen our national unity in the face of international disorder Will attention to social injustice, past and present, increase or decrease civil disharmony and strife Does a multicultural curriculum enhance learning, by engaging students' interest and by raising students' self-esteem, or does it teach irrelevance at best and fantasy at worst Glazer argues cogently that multiculturalism arose from the failure of mainstream society to assimilate African Americans; anger and frustration at their continuing separation gave black Americans the impetus for rejecting traditions that excluded them. But, willingly or not, we are all multiculturalists now, Glazer asserts, and his book gives us the clearest picture yet of what there is to know, to fear, and to ask of ourselves about this new identity.
