of Conversations with Coleman. My guest today is Yenz Heika. Jens is a researcher, writer, and

competitive cyclist. He studied economics and

New York, the London School of Economics, and Princeton. His book is called Out of the Melting

Pot into the Fire, Multiculturalism in the world's past and in America's future. In this episode, we talk

about the origin of the term melting pot,

as well as the origin of the concept of multiculturalism. We talk about the goal of cultural

assimilation. We talk about how ancient Rome tackled the issue of cultural diversity among its subjects.

We discussed the early Islamic empires, modern-day Sri Lanka, Rwanda and Botswana, the Ottoman Empire,

the current French colorblind system, Singapore, and much more.

This conversation is basically a survey of how all of these different societies have tackled

the issue of cultural diversity and what lessons we can draw from their successes and failures.

I enjoyed it, and I hope you

enjoy it, too. So without further ado, Yenz Heika.

And Yenz Heika. Thanks so much for coming on my show. Thank you, Coleman. It's really great
