In California, however, this seismic shift in demographics is due to take place before 2000. What happens in California, how the state chooses to adapt to its new identity, will have a tremendous impact on our future as a nation. With rare insight and humanity, Dale Maharidge introduces us to the underrepresented middle ground in a debate that has long been dominated by extremists of right and left. Taking the real-life experiences of four representative Californians -- Latino, black, white, Asian -- the Pulitzer Prize-winning author explores the impact of issues like immigration policy and affirmative action. |
