The Melting Pot Mistake

The "Melting Pot" is destroying all form and symmetry, all beauty and character, all nobility and usefulness. It is a mistake which left unchecked, will destroy America forever.The author, a chairman of the Department of Sociology, New York University, shows what social implications are involved in this false symbol of the melting pot and what the essential conditions are of a healthy attitude towards the whole problem of making true citizens out of aliens."There can be no doubt that the founders of America expected it and intended it to be a white man's country . . . There can also be no doubt that if America is to remain a stable nation it must continue to be a white man's country for an indefinite period to come. We have enough grounds of disunion and disruption without adding the irremediable one of deep racial antagonisms."This book answers those questions that arise regarding the effect of immigration on the vigor and permanence of a nation, focusing on the racial underpinnings of society.
