| Epilogue | |
| Sommario/riassunto: | This book explains that the original wishes of the founders of the American Republic, as well as those of modern luminaries like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez, have not been realized. Caravantes traces this problem to the radical activism of the 1960's, which introduced the notion of multiculturalism. |
