For decades, pundits and political scientists have been noting a significant demographic shift occurring in the United States. Demographers predict that whites will no longer comprise the majority of the US population, and minority groups will collectively form a majority by 2050.

Diversity's Child, by Efrén O. Pérez, delves into the political implications of this change. Pérez argues that the changing demographics of America are creating a new identity for many as people of color, uniting the political perspectives of various minority groups. He makes two key points based on extensive research. Firstly, Pérez demonstrates that a person of color does exist and can be reliably measured and distinguished from other identities held by minorities. Secondly, he shows that identifying as a person of color significantly shapes how minorities view themselves and their political system across various circumstances.

Diversity's Child is a crucial and thought-provoking exploration of America's identity politics, as well as the perspectives of people of color regarding racial disparities and the most effective ways to address them.
