      From Melting Pot to Witch's Cauldron explores what can happen when good intentions go askew. Ernesto Caravantes points out that the original wishes of the founders of the American Republic, as well as the desires of modern luminaries like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Cesar Chavez, have not been realized. Caravantes traces this problem to the radical activism of the 1960s, which introduced the notion of multiculturalism. In so doing, that activism completely erased all chances of seeing the dreams of these activists being brought into fruition. The author points out that the true and original aim of the multiculturalism movement was to have people of divergent ethnic backgrounds become unified by their differences, yet what is occurring is just the opposite - xenophobia and ethno-centrism have developed among the different ethnic groups in the United States. This book is a must-read for students of multicultural studies in colleges and universities.

      Ernesto Caravantes received his first MS in counseling from the University of La Verne and his second MS in American history from Lacrosse University. He has worked as an in-home outreach counselor and is the former host of the cable television show Dialog. As the only son of Mexican immigrant parents, the author has faced certain educational and cultural challenges. From his struggles to learn English as a first-grader to his completion of two master's degrees, his life has been marked by a steady uphill progression of life-long learning and intellectual growth.
