At its optimistic best; America has embraced its identity as the world's melting pot. Today it is on the cusp of becoming a country with no racial majority; and new minorities are poised to exert a profound impact on U.S. society; economy; and politics. The concept of a "minority white" may instill fear among some Americans; but William H. Frey; the man behind the demographic research; points out that demography is destiny; and the fear of a more racially diverse nation will almost certainly dissipate over time.Through a compelling narrative and eye-catching charts and maps; eminent demographer Frey interprets and expounds on the dramatic growth of minority populations in the United States. He finds that without these expanding groups; America could face a bleak future: this new generation of young minorities; who are having children at a faster rate than whites; is infusing our aging labor force with vitality and innovation. In contrast with the labor force-age population of Japan; Germany; Italy; and the United Kingdom; the U.S. labor force-age population is set to grow 5 percent by 2030. Diversity Explosion shares the good news about diversity in the coming decades; and the more globalized; multiracial country that the U.S. is becoming.ContentsA Pivotal Period for Race in AmericaOld versus Young: Cultural Generation GapsAmerica's New Racial MapHispanics Fan Out: Who Goes Where?Asians in America: The Newest Minority SurgeThe Great Migration of Blacks—In ReverseWhite Population Shifts—A Zero-SumMelting Pot Cities and SuburbsNeighborhood Segregation: Toward a New Racial ParadigmMultiracial Marriages and Multiracial AmericaRace and Politics: Expanding the BattlegroundAmerica on the Cusp

NieuwenhuizenThe author can not and will not understand Jehovah Witnesses.Although it give a lot of cronological facts of events it digs too deep in the pain and not how the victims look upon their trials but how others considered why the victims accepted their trials and beared in a dignify way.Besides it put JW's point of view pararel to communists pointeing only difference is Stanlin or Jehovah. Indeed that remark is offensive.Some interviewed persons such as Margaret (Neumann??..because she was not married to Neumann) was somebody although impressed by their actitude was still hard critical upon JW's since heself would bend her own standards upon her convenience.Upon interviewing Gertrud Potzinger; it higlight the fact that she was a maid to Nazi's. Family but reality that is called slavery; it was against Gertrude's will and without payment; even separating her or her family and fellow believers.Gertrude's attitude upon her odeal is not even mentioned although in video interview is clearly seen how she never allowed this ordeal to robbed her from her joice.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
