"Jens Kurt Heycke provides a much-needed, meticulously researched—and courageous—defense of the melting pot from classical antiquity to 21st-century America. His data and analyses show how and why the assimilationist model alone has always unified fractionalized ethnic and racial groups into a coherent national whole. Out of the Melting Pot, Into the Fire stands as a dire warning to beleaguered Western democracies that have foolishly rejected the melting pot that has so often proven the pathway to their survival and success."
—Victor Davis Hanson, The Hoover Institution, Stanford University
"Heycke's book should be on college reading lists for journalism, sociology, and economics courses that focus on ethnic diversity. It's an excellent text of applied cultural studies, but much more than that, it's a riveting, even haunting book of synthesis, one that pulls together ideas from past and present, from statistics and journalism...Heycke's personal, almost intimate prose style pulled this reader into his world in a way that social science nonfiction rarely does. I'm so glad I read his book."
—Garett Jones, Professor of Economics, George Mason University, The Independent Review: A Journal of Political Economy.
