Beyond the Melting Pot: Ethnicity in America | Moynihan

Learn how Daniel Patrick Moynihan and sociologist Nathan Glazer challenged the notion of America as a “melting pot” in this video from the American Masters’ film Moynihan. In their book Beyond the Melting Pot, Moynihan and Glazer confronted beliefs and ideas about a homogenized America and instead revealed a country of jostling ethnic groups through their study of New York City.
