Unmeltable Ethnics: Politics and Culture in American Life Paperback - 1995 - 2nd Edition
by Michael Novak
From the publisher
From the rear cover
This new, enlarged edition of an influential book - originally published in 1972 as The Rise of the Unmeltable Ethnics - extends the author's wise and generous view of ethnicity. Its aim "is to raise consciousness about a crucial part of the American experience: to involve each reader in self-inquiry. Who, after all, are you? What history brought you to where you are? Why are you different from others?" But the point of such inquiry is civility: "The new ethnic consciousness embodied in this book delights in recognition of subtle differences in the movements of the soul. It is not a call to separatism but to self-consciousness. It does not seek division but rather accurate, mutual appreciation". This new edition contains six new essays by the author, including the acclaimed "Pluralism: A Humanistic Perspective". New, too, is Novak's comprehensive introduction, bringing the argument up to date. Novak describes how and why ethnicity has become a prominent issue in American politics. He also sharply denounces the current ideology of "multiculturalism" as a disfiguration of genuine ethnicity. "Multiculturalism is moved by the eros of Narcissus"; Novak writes, "the new ethnicity is driven by the eros of unrestricted understanding". This new edition adds crucial distinctions for those seeking an intelligent path through such current-day mystifications as "multiculturalism" and "diversity ". Twenty-five years ago, Novak's argument led the way in focusing on families, neighborhoods, and other "mediating institutions" of civil society. It is an argument critical to a realistic sense of national community.
