Diversity Explosion: How New Racial Demographics Are Remaking America, Third Edition (Brookings Institution Press, September 2026)

Demographer William Frey's newly revised edition argues, from the latest Census data, that Hispanic, Asian, and multiracial Americans now account for most of the country's population growth — and that this will hold no matter what immigration does next. Frey's own read is that the change points toward a less divided country than many fear; the book also covers intermarriage and how each generation identifies differently from the last. The reference-shelf book for anyone who wants the thirty-year view.
