Pluralismo culturale, migranti europei, e afro-americani : la prospettiva di Jane Addams
P. 12-33
Addams wrote extensively on the significance and value of immigrant cultures of origin, both for immigrants themselves and for nonimmigrant Americans. Her theory of cultural pluralism is democratic and cosmopolitan. However, in the few essays she wrote on African Americans, she does not extend her theory to encompass African American culture. In this paper I develop Addams's theory of cultural pluralism. I then point out resources in her theory with which she could have extended it to include African American culture, in light of knowledge available to her at the time. I also identify barriers in her theorizing that made it difficult to do so. [Publisher's text]
