Series Statement:
The politics of race and ethnicity
Content:
"The authors have done a commendable and impressive job of addressing a topic of long-lasting and increasing significance in U.S. politics."--F. Chris Garcia, University of New Mexico "This is a path-breaking book that will be read across disciplines beyond political science."--James Jennings, Tufts University Over the past four decades, the United States has experienced the largest influx of immigrants in its history. Not only has the ratio of European to non-European newcomers changed, but the numbers of recent arrivals from the Asian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, South America, and other regions are increasing. In this timely study, a team of political scientists examines how the arrival of these newcomers has affected the efforts of long-standing U.S. minority groups--Blacks, Latinos, and Asian Pacific Americans--to gain equality through greater political representation and power. The authors predict that, for some time to come, the United States will function as a complex multiracial hierarchy, rather than as a genuine democracy.
