Known for books such as Beyond the Melting Pot, which deal with race and ethnicity, Glazer was critical of some of the Great Society programs of the mid-1960s.
He was often considered neoconservative in his thinking on domestic policy,[7][8][9] but remained a Democrat.[3] He described himself as "indifferent" to the neoconservative label with which he is most associated and remarked that it was an appellation not of his choosing.[4][9]
