The United States is experiencing remarkable demographic changes
that are having an important impact on the American electorate. As
the minority share of the voting-eligible population continues to
grow, the political clout of non-Hispanic whites will further
decline. The 2012 election demonstrated that the Democratic Party
can secure an Electoral College victory even when it loses badly,
in the aggregate, among non-Hispanic whites. This does not mean
that white voters are unimportant, however. The political behavior
of whites in the decades ahead will largely determine the direction
of American politics.
This book examines the political behavior of non-Hispanic
whites. It considers the trends within the white vote, how white
voters differ geographically, and the primary fault lines among
white voters. It also examines how white political behavior changes
in response to diversity. It considers whether or not the day is
approaching when whites consolidate into a largely homogenous
voting bloc, or whether whites will remain politically
heterogeneous in the decades ahead
Whereas other books have examined the political behavior of
specific social classes within the non-Hispanic white community
(working class whites, for example), this is the first book to
examine whites as a whole, and provide a useful summary of recent
trends within this group and thoughtful speculation about its
future.
