- Summary:
- Over the past four decades, the United States has experienced the largest influx of immigrants in its history. Not only has the traditional ratio of European to non-European newcomers changed, but the percentage of recent arrivals from the Asian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, South America, and other regions is increasing.
- In this timely study, a team of political scientists examines how the arrival of these newcomers has affected the efforts of long-standing U.S. minority groups-Black Americans, Latino Americans, and Asian Pacific Americans-to gain greater political representation and power, resulting in a complex multiracial hierarchy.
