How are we likely to get the more creative America--by confining our imaginations to the ideal of the melting-pot, or broadening them to some such cosmopolitan conception as I have been vaguely sketching?\" --Randolph Bourne, in \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America\u003c\/em\u003e, 1916\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America, \u003c\/em\u003e was published in 1916 in \u003cem\u003eThe Atlantic Monthly \u003c\/em\u003eby Randolph Bourne. While World War I was raging in Europe, native-born Americans became increasingly suspicious of the pockets of immigrant culture thriving among them. In his article, \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America\u003c\/em\u003e, Bourne disagreed with these attitudes and stated that the United States should accommodate immigrant cultures into a \"cosmopolitan America,\" instead of forcing immigrants to assimilate to the dominant Anglo-Saxon-based culture. He called for a new trans-national America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourne's positions in \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America\u003c\/em\u003e are as thought-provoking and relevant as ever for students of history, political scientists, and others interested in the current discussion about immigration in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.08 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 17, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42710073016383,"sku":"9781646790029","price":15.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/14578c2221e08a423d789fc49ab3a241.webp?v=1765053684","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/trans-national-america-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
