Greater racial diversity is good news for America's future. Race is
once again a contentious topic in America, as shown by the divisive
rise of Donald Trump and the activism of groups like Black Lives
Matter. Yet Diversity Explosion argues that the current period of
profound racial change will lead to a less-divided nation than
today's older whites or younger minorities fear. Prominent
demographer William Frey sees America's emerging diversity boom as
good news for a country that would otherwise face declining growth
and rapid aging for many years to come. In the new edition of this
popular Brookings Press offering, Frey draws from the lessons of
the 2016 presidential election and new statistics to paint an
illuminating picture of where America's racial demography is
headed-and what that means for the nation's future. Using the U.S.
Census, national surveys, and related sources, Frey tells how the
rapidly growing ""new minorities""-Hispanics, Asians, and
multiracial Americans-along with blacks and other groups, are
transforming and reinvigorating the nation's demographic landscape.
He discusses their impact on generational change, regional shifts
of major racial groups, neighborhood segregation, interracial
marriage, and presidential politics. Diversity Explosion is an
accessible, richly illustrated overview of how unprecedented racial
change is remaking the United States once again. It is an essential
guide for political strategists, marketers, investors, educators,
policymakers, and anyone who wants to understand the magnitude,
potential, and promise of the new national melting pot in the
twenty-first century.

Is demography destiny? Corporate marketers and government agencies
act as if it is, producing mountains of statistics about Americans
-- most always remarkably inaccessible and dry. Now, America by the
Numbers puts the power of demography back in the people's hands,
collecting and clearly explaining a vast amount of population data
in easy-to-read, informative tables and graphs. From the new
immigration to the aging of America, this guide reveals how the ebb
and flow of population shapes every public and private decision we
make.
In an engaging and accessible form, America by the Numbers
ranges across the U.S. landscape as it offers the latest facts
about racial conflict, class division, health, schooling, family
life, crime, and political participation. The most recent in The
New Press's highly successful popular guides to politics and
economics -- including The Ultimate Field Guide to the U.S. Economy
and Social Stratification in the United States -- America by the
Numbers is both a practical reference on U.S. population trends and
a probing examination of the roots of America's most pressing
problems.
