CAGE MATCH: ASSIMILATION VS. MULTICULTURALISM

I wrote about Putnam's research in the cover story "Fragmented Future" of the 1/15/2007 issue of The American Conservative.

While in some ways correct, the socialcapital blog above claiming that it is "patently false" that Putnam was nervous is being disingenuous.

Dr. Putnam certainly did publicize his findings for a time in 2001, at which point I wrote about them.

Putnam is being misleading, however, because he is skipping over the subsequent half decade of virtual radio silence he maintained on the topic from 2001 until he gave an indiscreet interview, which he immediately regretted, to John Lloyd of the Financial Times in the fall of 2006 while making a presentation on his findings in Sweden. Lloyd wrote:

“This is a contentious finding in the current climate of concern about the benefits of immigration. Professor Putnam told the Financial Times he had delayed publishing his research until he could develop proposals to compensate for the negative effects of diversity, saying it “would have been irresponsible to publish without that”.”
