520 $aThis important new volume analyzes relations among America's minority groups, specifically the prospects of political coalitions among those usually unrelated groups: African Americans, Asian-Americans, Latinos, Jews, Arab-Americans, and Native Americans. At the end of the 20th century, the United States is faced with a situation where minority groups are no longer assimilating but rather are moving toward separate mini-societies, complete with separate languages, cultures, and economies.
520 8 $aEven if society accepts the notion that cultural pluralism is consistent with democratic principles, the possibility of political "hyperpluralism" (endless and nonproductive conflicts among groups) is disturbing. This volume, therefore, attempts to address these concerns, examining the background of minority organizations, voting behavior issues, and coalitional possibilities. This volume will be of interest to scholars and students alike in American government and ethnic and minority politics.
