Abstract
Controversies over recent events in the area of racial and ethnic relations in the United States, including heightened group consciousness, government-mandated af firmative action in employment and education, court-ordered busing to achieve racial integration in public schools, and demands for bilingual education in public school systems, indicate that our society faces a new "American dilemma"— in this case a choice between two types of racial and ethnic pluralism. The nature of this choice is clarified by the use of six analytical dimensions, and the importance of the choice for the future of racial and ethnic relations in America is emphasized.Keywords
