Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam is a self-described full-on
liberal who worries a lot about community in America.
He made his name in the 1990s with his finding that hordes of Americans
were, in his famous phrase, "bowling alone" -- living without the
traditional community ties of bowling leagues and Moose clubs that bound
people together.
Then he set out on a huge project to find out why. The answer looks like a
liberal's nightmare: diversity. Diverse communities, Putnam found, show
dysfunction. At least for a while.
This hour On Point: Robert Putnam, Pat Buchanan and Lani Guinier on
diversity and community in America.
Robert Putnam, Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University and author
of "Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community." · Lani
