13. For a review of the literature on US demographics and perceptions of “the white minority,” see Thomas B. Edsall, “Who’s Afraid of a White Minority?,” New York Times, August 30, 2018. Amanda Taub wrote in the New York Times: “The mantra is not all about bigotry. Rather, being part of a culture designed around people’s own community and customs is a constant background hum of reassurance, of belonging. The loss of that comforting has accelerated a phenomenon that Robin DiAngelo, a lecturer and author, calls ‘white fragility’—the stress white people feel when they confront the knowledge that they are neither special nor the default; that whiteness is just a race like any other.” And, “Even some conservative analysts who support a multiethnic ‘melting pot’ national identity, such as the editor of National Review, Reihan Salam, worry that unassimilated immigrants could threaten core national values and cultural cohesion” (Amanda Taub, “Behind 2016’s Turmoil, a Crisis of White Identity,” New York Times, November 1, 2016, https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/02/world/americas/brexit-donald-trump-whites.html.

1. National Moral Dialogues
1. In fact, some communitarians (e.g., MacIntyre and Hauerwas) evaluate communal bonds to question not only globalism but also nationalism, arguing that meaningful bonds and values can develop only in small, tightly knit communities of associations, clubs, churches, neighborhoods, small towns, etc. among people who share the same narrative of the good life (see Alasdair MacIntyre, After Virtue [Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 1981], 256–63).

4. In 2015, Israeli president Reuven Rivlin called for a dialogue among the four tribes of Israel—secular Jews, Haredim (ultra-Orthodox), national religious groups, and Israeli Arabs—to formulate a new concept of partnership.

A separate account of community-based activism in America comes from James Fallows and Deborah Fallows in Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey into the Heart of America. The couple details how activists across what is considered “flyover country” in America are providing practical solutions to local problems through civic engagement and grassroots organizing.

It is the sum of the interests of the members who compose it.”
2. See Margaret Thatcher, “No Such Thing as Society” (interview, London, September 23, 1987), https://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/106689: “I think we have gone through a period when too many children and people have been given to understand ‘I have a problem, it is the Government’s job to cope with it!’ or ‘I have a problem, I will go and get a grant to cope with it!’ ‘I am homeless, the Government must house me!’ and so they are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first.”

5. Rogers Brubaker distinguishes between two different meanings of assimilation: one is general and abstract and refers to increasing similarity. The other is specific and organic and refers to absorption into a system and conversion. In the first sense, the focus of assimilation is a process, not a final state. In the second sense, assimilation is focused on an end state, and thus assimilation is either achieved or it is not; there are no degrees (see Rogers Brubaker, “The Return of Assimilation? Changing Perspectives on Immigration and Its Sequels in France, Germany, and the United States,” Ethnic and Racial Studies 24, no. 4 [2001]: 531–48).

Oleske adds: “Although many Americans had religious objections to interracial marriage in the 1960s, and although some still do today, federal and state antidiscrimination laws have not included exemptions that would allow business owners to deny services based on those beliefs. Likewise, although the New Testament quotes Jesus explicitly condemning divorce . . . state laws prohibiting discrimination based on marital status do not contain exemptions allowing commercial businesses to refuse to facilitate the remarriages of divorced people” (ibid., 144).

2. This concept is derived from the Supreme Court’s ruling in Buckley v. Valeo, which struck down independent expenditure limits as a violation of the First Amendment, although it was never stated quite that explicitly. The Court reasoned, “The expenditure limitations . . . represent substantial, rather than merely theoretical, restraints on the quantity and diversity of political speech” (424 US 1, 19 [1976]).

Haas and Deutsch, according to Etzioni, believe that a common government is a sufficient condition for a union to be deemed highly integrated. Noting the example of the Hapsburg Empire, Etzioni writes, “From our viewpoint, these countries are only partially integrated; they lack at least one central element of integration, that of being the dominant focus of political identification of their citizens” (Amitai Etzioni, Political Unification Revisited: On Building Supranational Communities [Lanham, MD: Lexington, 2001], 56).

23. Yuval Levin notes that both conservatives and liberals are nostalgic for a bygone era: liberals miss the 1960s and the Great Society, conservatives miss the 1980s, and both are nostalgic for the 1950s, but for different reasons (see Yuval Levin, The Fractured Republic: Renewing America’s Social Contract in the Age of Individualism [New York: Basic, 2016]).

In February 2018, the Economist ran a piece titled “Meritocracy and Its Discontents” that noted: “Today’s meritocrats are not only smug because they think they are intellectually superior.

2. I have been asked why a globalist or cosmopolitan movement could not be concerned with the same issues. First of all, there are very few global movements; most movements that seem global are mainly a combination of national ones. Second, the magnitude of change involved is such that they require the support of an existing community—which has yet to be formed on a global level.
