The Disuniting of America: Reflections on a Multicultural Society

For people who assume there can be no legitimate criticism of multiculturalism except from the xenophobic right, this book is a must read. This is a genuinely thoughtful critique of multiculturalism and its discontents, and why pluralism is a better goal for society.

I absolutely love Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. I believe he was one of the greatest political scientists/historians in our generation. He is a fantastic writer and he is thorough in his research.

This book is probably one of the shortest he has ever written (at least of what I have read thus far) but it is no less important. It is interesting and he really gives his observations of American society and the different cultures that are in it.

I would classify this as a "must read" because it is a quick and easy read and his observations and reflections are on point and true.
