Summary:	The most meaningful support for multiculturalism has come from intellectuals, such as those represented in this book, who have discovered greater meaning about our American past by incorporating concepts driving multiculturalism. These essays engage the word and its meanings, as varied as they are, in an effort to add and expand on the dialogue for this every-increasingly vital concept. Each essay generally makes use of multiculturalism as a way of examining history and social themes, while providing a broader and perhaps a deeper view of 19th-century American life and thought.
