Reviews

What happened to the country I grew up in?" As a journalist I hear that question all over America, especially from older white people. Blacks and all but the most recent immigrants say it too. Let Bill Frey expertly explain the change and why it is good for everyone. A great read! --Juan Williams, Fox News political analyst, The Hill columnist, and author of Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years

Diversity Explosion is a smart but not daunting exposition of the demographic revolution already under way. William Frey breaks down the intriguing ways we'll watch America change: at work, at school, in the voting booth, and in the culture at large. He shows us the next America and then tells us all the reasons he's concluded we can handle it. --Ray Suarez, host of Al Jazeera America's Inside Story and author of Latino Americans: The 500-Year Legacy That Shaped a Nation

Bill Frey has mapped the contours of the emerging Next America more powerfully and presciently than anyone else. With Diversity Explosion, he gives us nothing less than a field guide to the American future. Frey has looked deep into the data and emerged with a book that is not only comprehensive and compelling but also ultimately hopeful in his faith that Americans will come together to seize the enormous opportunities generated by our kaleidoscopic demographic change. --Ronald Brownstein, editorial director, Atlantic Media, and author of The Second Civil War: How Extreme Partisanship Has Paralyzed Washington and Polarized America

Bill Frey is widely acknowledged as America's leading demographer. In Diversity Explosion he extrapolates from current trends and paints a picture of how America will change demographically over the next 40 years. --Michael Barone, resident fellow at American Enterprise Institute, senior political analyst for the Washington Examiner, and coauthor of The Almanac of American Politics

In a definitive guide to America's demographic transformation, Frey gives us the facts and figures needed to understand how we got to where we are as a people and the even greater changes still ahead. Some books speculate about the future; this one calculates certainties. --Roberto Suro, professor of journalism and public policy at the University of Southern California
