William H. Frey is a senior fellow in the Metropolitan Policy program at the Brookings Institution and Research Professor in Population Studies at the University of Michigan.

What happened to the country I grew up in?" As a journalist I hear
that question all over America, especially from older white people.
Blacks and all but the most recent immigrants say it too. Let Bill
Frey expertly explain the change and why it is good for everyone. A
great read! --Juan Williams, Fox News political analyst, The Hill
columnist, and author of Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights
Years
Diversity Explosion is a smart but not daunting exposition of the
demographic revolution already under way. William Frey breaks down
the intriguing ways we'll watch America change: at work, at school,
in the voting booth, and in the culture at large. He shows us the
next America and then tells us all the reasons he's concluded we
can handle it. --Ray Suarez, host of Al Jazeera America's Inside
Story and author of Latino Americans: The 500-Year Legacy That
Shaped a Nation
Bill Frey has mapped the contours of the emerging Next America more
powerfully and presciently than anyone else. With Diversity
Explosion, he gives us nothing less than a field guide to the
American future. Frey has looked deep into the data and emerged
with a book that is not only comprehensive and compelling but also
ultimately hopeful in his faith that Americans will come together
to seize the enormous opportunities generated by our kaleidoscopic
demographic change. --Ronald Brownstein, editorial director,
Atlantic Media, and author of The Second Civil War: How Extreme
Partisanship Has Paralyzed Washington and Polarized America
Bill Frey is widely acknowledged as America's leading demographer.
In Diversity Explosion he extrapolates from current trends and
paints a picture of how America will change demographically over
the next 40 years. --Michael Barone, resident fellow at American
Enterprise Institute, senior political analyst for the Washington
Examiner, and coauthor of The Almanac of American Politics
In a definitive guide to America's demographic transformation, Frey
gives us the facts and figures needed to understand how we got to
where we are as a people and the even greater changes still ahead.
Some books speculate about the future; this one calculates
certainties. --Roberto Suro, professor of journalism and public
policy at the University of Southern California
