The Disuniting Of America by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr
Reflections on a Multicultural Society
A critique of rising ethnic particularism and identity politics in late-20th-century America, arguing that an overemphasis on cultural distinctiveness and separatist group loyalties threatens the shared civic values that bind a pluralistic democracy. It defends a common political culture and assimilation into civic ideals while acknowledging the value of cultural diversity, warning that privileging subgroup identities over national unity risks social fragmentation and the erosion of democratic norms.
