Becoming Quote by Barbara Jordan
“Americanization means the process of becoming an American. It means civic incorporation, becoming a part of the polity - becoming one of us. But that does not mean conformity. We are more than a melting pot, we are a kaleidoscope, where every turn of history refracts new light on the old promise.”
![“The term [Americanization] invokes the transformation of the landscape into unnatural mechanical shapes, of night into day, of speed for its own sake, an irrational passion for novelty at the expense of quality, a worship of gimmickry.” quote by Robert Stone](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/814/robert-stone-13495_american-culture_the-term-americanization-invokes-the-tra_2623573.jpg)
