Phillips’ robust plea for profound political changes is motivating and will invite those new to the discussion to join in the fight for social change and racial equality in America. A passionate discussion of race and politics sure to inspire heated debate and …proactive solutions.”—Kirkus Reviews
Democrats and progressives are going to lose if they don’t turn out people of color in 2016.
Brown is the New White: How the Demographic Revolution Has Created a New American Majority is a wake-up call to the Democratic Party and progressive movement that they will lose elections and our country’s future if they don’t make turning out people of color and progressive whites a greater priority.
Despite the abundant evidence from Obama’s victories proving that the U.S. population has fundamentally changed, many progressives and Democrats continue to waste millions of dollars chasing White swing voters. The explosive population growth of people of color in America over the past 50 years has laid the foundation for a New American Majority consisting of progressive people of color (23 percent of all eligible voters) and progressive Whites (28 percent of all eligible voters). These two groups make up 51 percent of all eligible voters in America right now and that majority is growing larger every day. Failing to properly appreciate this reality, progressives are at risk of missing this moment in history—and losing.
