ABSTRACT
. . . searches for a new way to define what it means to be an American. We embrace the American dream as culturally pluralistic—a nation having a unity of spirit and ideal, but a diversity of origin and expression, a nation not of atomic individuals, but of dynamic, interacting groups, each of which brings forth its best to help build a just and equitable society, free of isolation, segregation, and racism. We believe that people who are secure in their past and joyful in their present cannot but be hopeful in their future. We call this the “new ethnicity.”
