Bøker av Abigail M. Thernstrom

These twenty-five essays, covering a range of areas from religion and immigration to family structure and crime, examine America's changing racial and ethnic scene. They clearly show that old civil rights strategies will not solve today's problems and offer a bold new civil rights agenda based on today's realities.

In this absorbing book, political scientist Abigail Thernstrom analyzes the radical transformation of the Voting Rights Act in the years since its passage. Whose Votes Count? should stimulate the overdue discussion that the subject deserves among all those concerned with American politics.
