Description

Over the past four decades, the foreign-born population in the United States has nearly tripled, from about 10 million in 1965 to more than 30 million today.

This wave of new Americans comes in disproportionately large numbers from Latin America and Asia, a pattern that is likely to continue in this century.

In ""Transforming Politics, Transforming America"", editors Taeku Lee, S.

Karthick Ramakrishnan, and Ricardo Ramirez bring together the newest work of prominent scholars in the field of immigrant political incorporation to provide the first comprehensive look at the political behavior of immigrants.

Focusing on the period from 1965 to the year 2020, this volume tackles the fundamental yet relatively neglected questions, what is the meaning of citizenship, and what is its political relevance?

How are immigrants changing our notions of racial and ethnic categorization?

How is immigration transforming our understanding of mobilization, participation, and political assimilation?

With an emphasis on research that brings innovative theory, quantitative methods, and systematic data to bear on such questions, this volume presents a provocative evidence-based examination of the consequences that these demographic changes might have for the contemporary politics of the United States as well as for the concerns, categories, and conceptual frameworks we use to study race relations and ethnic politics.
