“The Melted Pot is a rare and necessary book, which calls for honest conversation about the challenges and promises of multiculturalism. This urgent and brave book offers not just critique, but a roadmap for renewal—a path toward a multiculturalism that does not compromise on democratic principles. Read this book!”
– Natan Sharansky, human rights activist, former political prisoner, and author of The Case for Democracy, a New York Times Bestseller

“Multiculturalism is the collectivist philosophy that was enthusiastically applied in the West in the last few decades. It has hollowed out European and American institutions and rendered nationhood meaningless. It has become among other things a vehicle that enables Anti-Semitism. Everyone needs to read Harry Saul Markham’s book, The Melted Pot, not only to understand how this happened, but crucially what to do about it.”
– Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Human Rights Activist & Bestselling Author, Research Fellow, The Hoover Institution.

“Are you shocked by the rise of authoritarian populism in Europe? Stunned by the rise of antisemitism in the continent that seemed to have learned the lessons of the Holocaust? Flabbergasted that the apparently irresistible idea of a liberal, cosmopolitan world order is plunging in popularity? If so, there must be something about the present you’re not understanding. With style, humanity, and good sense, Harry Markham diagnoses the problems that Europe has blundered into and points the way toward restoring the vision that once inspired it.”
– Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of Enlightenment Now.

“We need more books like this exposing not only the evils but also the dangers of tolerating antisemitism.”
– Professor Alan Dershowitz, Harvard University, best-selling author, leading lawyer

In the decades since 1945, Western Europe has undergone a seismic social and political transformation. The evils of racism, authoritarianism, and exclusionary nationalism, which once prevailed, have been defeated and marginalized. Through an arduous process of democratization and liberalization, today’s Western Europe is almost unrecognizable from the one our grandparents were raised in. Yet despite this commendable progress, alarm bells are ringing. Civilization is facing a new crisis, and once again, the Jews find themselves in great danger. This time, however, the menace facing Europe’s oldest Other does not come from the extreme right. Rather, to the surprise of many, it emerges from a fellow minority.

In this book, which was cancelled by its original publisher because of the “sensitive nature” of the topics covered, Harry Saul Markham reveals how well-intentioned policies—meant to advance democracy and foster inclusion—have instead endangered the very fabric of our democratic societies and betrayed the principles upon which the postwar Europe was founded. Although this book confronts head-on the normalization of Islamist thinking within swathes of our Muslim communities, as well as the silence and complicity of mainstream institutions, The Melted Pot is not a repudiation of diversity. With its foreword by a leading British Sheikh who is working for change, this urgent book presents a vision for a new multiculturalism, one that does not compromise on core democratic values and instead empowers voices for change. This book is essential reading for anyone who believes in the promise of diverse, free societies and refuses to surrender to the illusions of either naïve utopianism or divisive nationalism.

Beyond its novel revelations, and meticulous research, this work is endorsed by concerned Muslim voices, as well as other leading experts, journalists, and intellectuals. As such, what Markham has produced is valuable not merely for its content, but as a symbol of concerned citizens of all faiths who are eager for an honest reckoning with multiculturalism in Western Europe.
