No, it was straight sociology. It was called _Beyond the Melting Pot; The Negroes, Puerto Ricans, Jews, Italians, and Irish of New York City_. He wrote it with Nathan Glazer in 1963. It was one of the founding texts of "ethnic revivalism" (as boosters called it) or "the ethnic myth" (as detractors called it) in American sociology.
