"This book provides a comprehensive analysis of democratic participation among first- and second-generation immigrants in the United States. Immigrants and their children already constitute a sizable proportion of the population, and this will grow to 25 percent of the electorate by the year 2020. So far, we have only a piecemeal understanding of immigrant political participation, with many studies confined to specific regions or particular ethnic groups."--Jacket.
