Randolph Silliman Bourne (1886-1918) was a progressive writer and
public intellectual born in Bloomfield, New Jersey, and a graduate
of Columbia University. Bourne is best known for his essays,
especially War is the Health of the State, which remained
unfinished when found after his death. Bourne's articles appeared
in the magazine, The Seven Arts and The New Republic, among other
journals of the day. He was greatly influenced by Horace Kallen's
1915 essay Democracy Versus the Melting-Pot, and argued, like
Kallen, that Americanism ought not to be associated with
Anglo-Saxonism. In his 1916 article Trans- National America, Bourne
argued that the US should accommodate immigrant cultures into a
cosmopolitan America, instead of forcing immigrants to assimilate
to Anglophilic culture. He was born with a deformed face and
essentially a hunchback. He chronicled his experiences in his essay
titled, The Handicapped.
