Urban Engagement Book Club: "Immigrants and Boomers"

Dowell Myers' Immigrants and Boomers: Forging a New Social Contract for the Future of America looks to California as a bellwether state--where whites are no longer a majority of the population and represent just a third of residents under age twenty--to afford us a glimpse into the future impact of immigration on the rest of the nation.
