How are we likely to get the more creative America--by confining our imaginations to the ideal of the melting-pot, or broadening them to some such cosmopolitan conception as I have been vaguely sketching?\" --Randolph Bourne, in \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America\u003c\/em\u003e, 1916\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America, \u003c\/em\u003e was published in 1916 in \u003cem\u003eThe Atlantic Monthly \u003c\/em\u003eby Randolph Bourne. While World War I was raging in Europe, native-born Americans became increasingly suspicious of the pockets of immigrant culture thriving among them. In his article, \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America\u003c\/em\u003e, Bourne disagreed with these attitudes and stated that the United States should accommodate immigrant cultures into a \"cosmopolitan America,\" instead of forcing immigrants to assimilate to the dominant Anglo-Saxon-based culture. He called for a new trans-national America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourne's positions in \u003cem\u003eTrans-national America\u003c\/em\u003e are as thought-provoking and relevant as ever for students of history, political scientists, and others interested in the current discussion about immigration in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Randolph S.
