本文采用参与式观察和定量分析的方法，对美国国家人文基金会在1995年和1996年组织的一系列地方对话项目-美国多元主义和身份认同全国对话进行了研究。在将该节目与有关美国政治文化的辩论联系起来之后，本文根据关于对话的五个假设分析了观察和调查数据。对话揭示了根本的，悬而未决的困境，美国身份和种族多元化之间的兼容性，虽然参与者有时科普这些困境的文化创造性的方式。
Drawing on participant observation and quantitative analysis, this paper investigates the National Conversation on American Pluralism and Identity, a series of local conversation projects organized by the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1995 and 1996. After linking this program to debates about American political culture, the paper analyzes the observational and survey data in light of five hypotheses about the conversations. The conversations reveal fundamental, unresolved dilemmas regarding the compatibility between American identity and ethnic pluralism, although the participants sometimes cope with these dilemmas in culturally creative ways.
