ReviewsNo one understands the tectonic shifts in American society at the root of today's political turmoil better than Bill Frey. His work remains indispensable to understanding the powerful forces of demographic change creating a new America--and the resistance those changes have ignited in parts of the electorate. At a moment of intense national division, this new edition of Diversity Explosion offers a path toward recognizing our undiminished common interests.--Ronald Brownstein, senior editor at The Atlantic and senior political analysts at CNN, No one understands the tectonic shifts in American society at the root of today's political turmoil better than Bill Frey. His work remains indispensable to understanding the powerful forces of demographic change creating a new America-and the resistance those changes have ignited in parts of the electorate. At a moment of intense national division, this new edition of Diversity Explosion offers a path toward recognizing our undiminished common interests."- Ronald Brownstein, senior editor at The Atlantic and senior political analysts at CNN; "Bill Frey's updated book is a must-read guide to understanding the tectonic political and cultural shifts in America, particularly in this post-Trump election era. It's an important and useful work for anyone who wants to understand the demographic forces that will frame elections in years to come."- Asma Khalid, political correspondent, NPR; "Though not all readers may share Frey's optimistic outlook, this study offers valuable insights, with a clear, straightforward presentation enhanced by informative graphs, maps, and tables."- Robin Tatu, ASEE Prism; "Bill Frey has a message: A powerful, multiracial, and younger America is emerging. In both cities and suburbs, the young and the nonwhite are forming new communities and bringing progressive attitudes, modern institutions, and dynamic ideas about American politics and government. Diversity Explosion is an engrossing tour of this new, richer America and what it will mean for the future of our nation."- Carolyn Dewitt, president and executive director, Rock the Vote

SynopsisGreater 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., 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 become isolated from the rest of world while facing declining growth and rapid aging for years to come. In this updated and revised edition of his award-winning book, Frey draws lessons from the 2016 presidential election and fresh statistics to paint a clear picture of where America's racial demography is headed-and what it means for the nation's future. His new analysis of election data and the changing electorate shows how Trump's win highlights a major fissure in today's America: a cultural generation gap where many baby boomers and seniors are fearful about the nation's diversifying population, while at the same time younger adults-especially millennials-welcome it. Frey explains how, despite this gap, broad demographic forces will alter the nation's social and political landscape in the not-too-distant future, as older Americans and those living in red states come to absorb and embrace the contributions of multihued generations that are rapidly growing and dispersing. Clearly, the phrase "demography is destiny" is salient in ways that both political parties need to recognize. Drawing from the U.S. Census, recent national surveys, and related sources, Frey tells how the rapidly growing "new minorities"-Hispanics, Asians, and multiracial Americans-along with African Americans and other groups, are transforming and reinvigorating communities from cities to suburbs and from the coasts to the heartland. He discusses their impact on generational change, neighborhood segregation, and interracial marriage, as well as presidential politics.
