Opis

Whereas other books have examined the political behavior of specific social classes within the non-Hispanic white community (working class whites, for example), this is the first book to examine whites as a whole, and provide a useful summary of recent trends within this group and thoughtful speculation about its future. It also examines how white political behavior changes in response to diversity. It considers whether or not the day is approaching when whites consolidate further consolidate into a largely homogenous voting bloc, or whether whites will remain politically heterogeneous in the decades ahead.
