Institutionalizing our demise: America vs. multiculturalism.(Lengthened shadows: X)("Who Are We? The Challenges to America's National Identity" )(Book Review)

Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labours and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world.

--J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, Letters from an American Farmer, 1782
