Among historians of American ethnic groups, Philip Gleason has played a leading role in that development. His essays analyzing the terms of public and scholarly discourse -- mapping the changing conceptions of American identity during the past half century -- make a distinctive contribution to intellectual history." "Speaking of Diversity collects eleven of Gleason's seminal essays, each of them examining twentieth-century American thought on ethnic and religious diversity. Part 1 focuses specifically on linguistic and conceptual analysis, treating terms such as melting-pot, pluralism, identity, and minority. Part 2 explores the impact of World War II on American thinking about diversity, tolerance, and intergroup relations. Part 3 consists of essays on religion, all closely tied to themes in earlier essays. Together, they form a model of methodological and thematic unity. The essays also clear the ground as Americans continue their efforts to realize the stated goals of tolerance, diversity, and order."--Jacket.Religionfast(OCoLC)fst01093763Minoritiesfast(OCoLC)fst01023088Ethnicityfast(OCoLC)fst00916034Ethnic relationsfast(OCoLC)fst00916005Catholicsfast(OCoLC)fst00849297CatholiquesÉtats-UnisMinoritesÉtats-UnisEthniciteÉtats-UnisRace Relations(DNLM)D011822Prejudice(DNLM)D011287Religion(DNLM)D012067Minority Groups(DNLM)D008913Ethnic Groups(DNLM)D005006Cultural Diversity(DNLM)D018864CatholicsUnited StatesMinoritiesUnited StatesEthnicityUnited StatesUnited StatesfastÉtats-UnisRelations interethniquesÉtats-UnisReligionUnited StatesUnited StatesReligionUnited StatesEthnic relationsEssays.United StatesEthnic groupsReligion.Minorities.Ethnicity.Ethnic relations.Catholics.CatholiquesMinoritesEthniciteRace Relations.Prejudice.Religion.Minority Groups.Ethnic Groups.Cultural Diversity.CatholicsMinoritiesEthnicity305.8/00973/09045Gleason Philip1927-,1111985MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910524869203321Speaking of Diversity2642872UNINA
