Read it and you will not be perplexed, you will be informed and reassured about America’s resilience.”      -George F. Will “Demography is destiny. In the hands of a master it can also be revelation. And there is none such as Michael Barone. Even as multiethnic nations around the world grow ever more divided, Barone shows that the United States, whilst growing ever more diverse, will be ever more stable. And successful.”      -Daniel Patrick Moynihan “In The New Americans, Michael Barone brings much needed common sense and historical insight to an area of study that all too often lacks both. The process of assimilating millions of contemporary immigrants into American life is as daunting a task as it ever was. It always helps to remind ourselves that we’ve gone through it many times before.”      -Gregory Rodriguez, Senior Fellow, New America Foundation “Michael Barone is a master observer of the American scene. In this fascinating book, he turns his sharp eye on our most important domestic issue: how to make our national motto, ‘out of many, one,’ a living reality. This is a must-read for anyone concerned about the American future.”      -Stephan Thernstrom, Winthrop Professor of History, Harvard University, coauthor of America in Black and White “This book is a clean, muscular argument that the story of all minority groups in America-including blacks-has always been a slow but steady move to equality with the ruling class. Barone usefully shows that culture-internal factors can retard this climb as much as racism or the pitfalls of capitalism. Overall, The New Americans challenges all of America to truly see the arbitrariness and evanescence of what we call ‘race.’ The chapter on the Irish, alone, should be required reading in all African-American Studies departments.”      -John H.
