the long-sought national amalgam / long-sought ideal of national integration Explanation: In this context, the technical term would be 'miscegenation'. 'Amalgam' would be metaphoric; 'integration' makes the text perfectly clear. Definition of 'amalgam' from Merriam-Webster's International Dictionary: 2 : a combination or mixture of different elements *an amalgam of wisdom and nonsense* *an amalgam of peasants and businessmen— New York Times* |
