3 Nye remains a believer in the melting-pot model of assimilation, which he deploys to rebut a flagging new nativist agenda advocating restrictionist immigration policies (seep. 118). In so doing, he also at least implicitly rejects the postnational premises of such social scientists as Arjun Appadurai and Yasemin Soysal.
