"This book talks about how Americans are too much insisting on themselves as African-American, Italian-American, Asian-American, etc. without seeing themselves so much as Americans. Any educated person is aware of this type of argument."
"This book is a little gem; a must read for anyone interested in one of the major (if not the main) problems presently facing the United States. Let me say this: if you're a liberal then you'll probably poop your pants and give the book a low rating for Schlesinger gives sufficient reason to doubt the doctrine that 'you' tend to so arrogantly advocate: cultural relativism. But, obviously enough (or so I would think), not all cultures are the same in value (as demonstrated by the nature of the individuals and their characteristics it commonly claims). And, as Schlesinger argues through historical events and commentary, leaving such a premise (cultural relativism) unchecked can generate many undesired consequences in a multicultural society, such as the United States. Beware!-the compensatory historians and media hucksters are coming (are here!)."
"A definitive assessment of the state of the Union in the early 1990's, and the unfortunate rise of multiculturalist extremism and "political correctness", a quagmire from which the nation has yet to emerge. Schlesinger pulls no punches and doesn't shy away from sacred cows. You couldn't ask for a better book on the subject."
