Addams wrote extensively on the significance and value of immigrant cultures of origin, both for immigrants themselves and for nonimmigrant Americans. Her theory of cul¬tural pluralism is democratic and cosmopolitan. However, in the few essays she wrote on African Americans, she does not extend her theory to encompass African American culture. In this paper I develop Addams’s theory of cultural pluralism. I then point out resources in her theory with which she could have extended it to include African American culture, in light of knowledge available to her at the time. I also identify barriers in her theorizing that made it difficult to do so.
