Diversity and Its Discontents by Neil J Smelser
Familiar terms such as culture wars, multiculturalism, moral majority, and family values all suggest a society fragmented by the issue of cultural diversity. So does any social solidarity exist among Americans? This book explores ideological differences, theoretical disputes, social processes, and institutional change.
Diversity and Its Discontents is an excellent addition to the literature on multiculturalism.. -- Jose Luis Sanchez Multicultural Review
