- Synopsis
- Sometime in this century, we are told, the United States will become a "majority-minority" country-that is, a nation where whites make up less than 50 percent of the population. Many believe this signals a fundamental change in America. Does it? Is the Melting Pot a thing of the past? Absolutely not, says political historian Michael Barone. He uses this book to remind us that the United States has never been a homogeneous, monoethnic nation. He reveals how the new Americans today can be interwoven into the fabric of American life just as immigrants have been interwoven throughout U.S. history.
