Opis

When it was published in hardcover, Brown Is the New White helped spark a national discussion of race and electoral politics, and the often-misdirected spending priorities of the Democratic Party. This "slim yet jam-packed call to action" (Booklist) contained a "detailed, data-driven illustration of the rapidly increasing number of racial minorities in America" (NBC News) and their significance in shaping our political future. Completely revised and updated to address the aftermath of the 2016 election, this new edition of Brown Is the New White doubles down on its original insights. Attacking the "myth of the white swing voter" head-on, author Steve Phillips closely examines 2016 election results against a long backdrop of shifts in the electoral map over the past generation--arguing that now more than ever, hope for a more progressive political future lies with cultivating America's growing, diverse majority through direct voter mobilization and a political platform that meaningfully addresses the persistent racial inequalities in American society. Since the 2016 election season, Phillips has emerged as a respected and clear-headed commentator on American politics at a time of pessimism and confusion among Democrats. Brown Is the New White is his stirring answer to anyone who thinks the immediate future holds nothing but Trump and Republican majorities.
