Sommario/riassunto

For decades now, pundits and political scientists have been pointing to a major demographic change that's underway in the United States. Demographers project that whites will become a minority of the US population and that minority groups will jointly comprise a majority before 2050. 'Diversity's Child' appraises the political ramifications of this change. The author deftly argues that America's changing demographics are forging a new identity for many as people of colour - that unifies the political outlook of assorted minority groups. A vital and engaging look at America's identity politics, as well as at how people of colour think about racial disparities and how politics can best solve them.
