The Making of a Great Race is a significant sociological examination of the evolving American identity during the early 20th century. Written by Edward A. Steiner, a scholar deeply invested in the immigrant experience, this work explores the complex process of cultural assimilation and the fusion of diverse ethnic backgrounds into a unified national character. Steiner moves beyond simple statistics to provide a humanistic view of the social forces at play when disparate groups converge to build a new society.

The book delves into the melting pot concept, analyzing the contributions of various European heritages to the American social fabric and the tensions that arise during integration. Steiner addresses themes of social justice, the psychological impact of migration, and the optimistic potential of a democracy that embraces diversity. As a study of nation-building, the text offers valuable insights into the historical perceptions of race and ethnicity in the United States. It stands as an important document for understanding the foundations of modern American social history and the enduring questions surrounding cultural unity and the development of a collective national spirit.
