Abstract	This book focuses on a position contrary to the melting pot theory: namely, that group identity persists in America today. Discussed are the nature of ethnicity, the origins of various ethnic groups, the assimilation rate of ethnic groups, competition between ethnic groups, group differences, and the future of ethnic groups. The author distinguishes between cultural and structural assimilation, presents a thesis for the developmental process which may be common to all ethnic groups, and concludes by suggesting new ways in which American politics may deal with the problem of ethnicity in the next decade.
