Synopsis: How should societies respond to such great demographic change? This question lingers over the contemporary politics of the United States and other diversifying countries.  In Majority Minority, Justin Gest weaves reportage from six majority minority societies across the globe, new public opinion research, and clear-eyed analysis to chart the path of America’s demographic change and its accompanying politics. Gest argues that states hold great power to shape public responses and perceptions through leaders’ rhetoric and their management of political institutions. Grounded in rich narratives and surprising survey findings, Majority Minority explores one of the greatest social challenges of our time.
