Immigrants, Minorities, and the Search for A Genuine Democracy
Check out new release Newcomers, Outsiders, and Insiders for a look at how the arrival of "new minorities" 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.
