Nationalistic Orientation (2)
3. “Good” literature: embodiment of American national spirit – e.g. F. O. Matthiessen in American Renaissance (1941) enshrines five writers for their devotion to “democracy”, dismissing Mrs. Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) as second rate popular writing only. cf. The Scarlet Letter (1850) Moby Dick (1851) Walden (1854) Leaves of Grass (1855) Americanness vs Excellence

熔炉论
又称“坩埚论”。美 国一度被比喻为“熔 炉”、“坩埚”，作 为种族、民族融合的 实例。
熔 炉 论
主张同化的人把 熔炉论或坩埚论当作 同化的同义词来使用， 因而遭到许多学者的 严厉批评。
多元文化主义
很快地，“熔炉论”在一 战起就受到强有力的挑战。一 战期间对德裔移民的不信任， “熔炉论”显得苍白无力。二 战期间，历史又上演了相似的 一幕。日本侨民和德裔美国人 成了被孤立、排斥和打击的对 象。

多元文化
比较而言，在象征美国多元文化的比喻中， 色拉盘是最好的形式，就像色拉中的不同种 类的成分一样，美国社会中的不同群体文化 相互平等、独立、相互依存。
这是现代美国社会的现实，也是发展的必 然趋势。
如何给不同的群体文化贴标签
在多元化文化发展的时代，如何称呼组成 美国的各群体文化已经变成一个非常敏感的 问题。
跨文化交际的现代意识
在现代社会中生活，与别人建立社会关系， 显然受到多元文化的各种挑战。 Geertz (1996) 曾把二十世纪末的社会和物资 环境比作拼图游戏，而且指出拼图是的社会要 求其成员具有特殊的能力。
它指人们首先具备能对（拼图式）的组成部 分进行分类的能力，他们是做什么的；他们是 如何相互交往—同时模糊地意识到自己在其中 的位子和身份。
多元文化/后现 代主义社会中的 交际
Intercultural Communication in the Multicultural/ PostModern Society
多元文化与多语时代
我们正处在一个多元文化或后现代主义时代 （Post modernism). 高度发达的科学技术，尤 其传播媒体技术的高度现代化已经使我们居住 的世界产生了急剧的变化。 Marshall McLuhan 用地球村 （Global village) 这一术语来描绘由媒体的发展和进步所产生的 效应---国际间，跨文化之间的对话已如此频繁， 时空已变得如此之小，即使那些依然留恋过去 的人们， 也发现他们不得不与世界各地的人们 直接或间接地接触和对话。
美国—从大熔炉到色拉盘
这种观点有其可喜之处。它告诉人们：不 同文化群体的文化对自己原有的文化特点的 保留不仅是能够接受的，而且也是令人向往 的。

Why is California such a multicultural community?The state of California is a multicultural community because European, African and Asian people have been immigrating to the state for the last 200 years. Before their arrival, Native American people had lived there for thousands of years. People from all over the world are still coming to settle in California because of its good climate and the lifestyle it offers. It is this mix of peoples with their own customs, culture and food that have given California its multicultural flavor (特色). Problems that might arise include intercultural conflict or competition, discrimination or misunderstanding. It is to the credit of Californians that such problems do not arise very often.要点提示：intercultural conflict 不同文化间的冲突discrimination 歧视to the credit 值得赞扬，为某人增光4.

But public and political attitudes towards immigrants have always been contradictory and sometimes hostile（敌对的）. T he early immigrants to colonial（殖民地的）America—from England, France, Germany, and other countries in northwestern Europe—came in search of economic opportunity and political freedom, yet they often relied upon the labor of African slaves working the land taken from Native Americans. ①The descendants (后代) of these first European immigrants sometimes viewed as “racially” and religiously suspect the European immigrants who came to the United States in the late 1800s from Italy, Poland, Russia, and elsewhere in southeastern Europe. The descendants of these immigrants, in turn, have often taken a dim view of (对……不以为然) the growing numbers of Latin American, Asian, and African immigrants who began to arrive in the second half of the 20th century.要点提示：contradictory矛盾的（contradict 反驳，与......抵触）in search of 寻找view... as 认为......是suspect adj. 令人怀疑的Poland 波兰in turn 轮流地，转而句①的谓语动词是viewed，宾语是the European immigrants who...Today, Just about every family in the United States has at least one member,now or in the past, who came from another country. Even American Indians may have immigrant ancestors through marriage.The United States is one of the few industrial countries with a growing population. The main reason is immigration.Today America has just over three hundred million people. A new report says if current growth rates continue, the nation will have four hundred thirty-eight million in two thousand fifty. Now immigrants are moving beyond big states like California, Texas or New York. They are settling all across the country, in big cities as well as small towns. These new residents are bringing cultural changes to many areas. Some of these changes are welcome, others are not.American immigration history presents a pattern of history repeating itself. Hard times or conflict in other countries lead people to seek a better life in America. When groups of Americans begin to feel threatened, the federal government moves to restrict immigration.要点提示：ancestors祖先current growth rate 现在的增长率two thousand fifty 2050年resident 定居的；居民beyond 超出threaten 威胁restrict 限制Chinese Exclusion Act 排华法案The first restrictive immigration laws were directed against Asian countries. The first law was the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. This law essentially prohibited the immigration of Chinese citizens and it stayed in effect until it was removed during World War II.In 1907, Japanese immigration was substantially (大体上) reduced through a Gentlemen’s Agreement between Japan and the United States. It is noteworthy (值得注意的) that the Chinese Exclusion Act also prohibited the immigration of “convicts(罪犯), lunatics (疯子), idiots”and those individuals who might need to be supported by government assistance.要点提示：prohibit 禁止citizen 公民，国民in effect 在实施中，有效■话题语句（4）有用的句子----- 试试你会了吗？1. 如果你了解了加利福尼亚的历史，你就不会对其文化的多样性感到惊奇了。

Some of the people who immigrated to America embraced the opportunity to leave old cultures behind and to remarke themselves unencumbered(不受约束的）by past traditions and loyaltics.Many Americans find that Pluralism adds to the richness and strength of the nation’s culture.
