The United States will enter the twenty-first century with an
increasingly diverse, unequal, and divided population. Longstanding
tensions persist between ethnic groups, rich and poor, and
immigrants and the native-born. New sources of strain involve
sexual and gender minorities, those who possess alternate family
forms, and white and nonwhite immigrants, as well as the widening
gulf between rich and poor Americans.A Nation Divided offers a
fresh approach to these controversial issues. In this volume,
leading social scientists explore the potentially explosive
combination of diversity and inequality. Using the latest theory
and research, the authors show how different groups become socially
and economically unequal and how such patterns of "durable
inequality" affect national stability. They also discuss strategies
for reducing durable inequality and creating social harmony. Their
contributions address the changing demography of diversity and
inequality and the interplay of diversity, inequality, and
community in educational institutions, the military, the family,
popular culture, and religion.
