They'd like to think I have melted in the pot. But I haven't. We haven't. ~ Gloria E. Anzaldúa

Melting pot is a metaphor for a heterogeneous society becoming more homogeneous.

Quotes

  • That focal point or fulcrum, that juncture where the mestiza stands, is where phenomena tend to collide. It is where the possibility of uniting all that is separate occurs. This assembly is not one where severed or separated pieces merely come together. Nor is it a balancing of opposing powers. In attempting to work out a synthesis, the self has added a third element which is greater than the sum of its severed parts. That third element is a new consciousness—a mestiza consciousness.
