Abstract
The United States is not a nation-state like Japan. Instead, it is a state of diversities. These diversities multiply and ramify across every dimension of American social life as religious, racial, ethnic, ancestral, linguistic, economic and regional differences in turn engender other enduring diversities of a political and cultural nature. Occasionally, an ultraconservative politician like Pat Robertson or Pat Buchanan seeks to deny this fact by insisting that the United States is a Christian nation with English or European roots. To the vast majority of Americans, however, these narrow ethnocentric definitions deny what common observation confirms — the extraordinary, multidimensional, polyglot composition of the American “family.” Immigration has always driven this diversity. It will do so even more powerfully in the future.
