Foreign migration to the United State is dramatically altering the
demographic profile of the American electorate. Nearly a third of
all Americans are of non-white and non-European descent. Latinos
and Hispanics have recently eclipsed African Americans as the
largest minority group in the United States. Between 1990 and 2000,
Asians doubled the size of their population to more than 4 percent
of Americans. Though immigration has altered the racial and ethnic
composition of every state in the nation, surprisingly little is
known about the consequences of this new heterogeneity for American
politics. This book explores the impact and political consequences
of immigration. After considering the organizations that mobilize
new citizens to politics, the authors examine the political
psychology of group consciousness for political mobilization.
Finally, they consider the emerging patterns and choices of new
voters.
