The civil rights movement and immigration reform transformed
American politics in the mid-1960s. Demographic diversity and
identity politics raised the challenge of e pluribus unum anew, and
multiculturalism emerged as a new ideological response to this
dilemma. This book uses national public opinion data and public
opinion data from Los Angeles to compare ethnic differences in
patriotism and ethnic identity and ethnic differences in support
for multicultural norms and group-conscious policies. The authors
find evidence of strong patriotism among all groups and the classic
pattern of assimilation among the new wave of immigrants. They
argue that there is a consensus in rejecting harder forms of
multiculturalism that insist on group rights but also a widespread
acceptance of softer forms that are tolerant of cultural
differences and do not challenge norms, such as by insisting on the
primacy of English.
