The Emerging Democratic Majority

Categories: Politics & Social Sciences

Journalist John B. Judis and demographer Ruy Teixeira look at voting data and population trends to predict where American politics was heading after the 2000 election. They argue that professionals, women, minorities and the growing metropolitan areas they call ideopolises were forming a new progressive coalition. The book became one of the most cited and debated forecasts of the Democratic Party's future.
