“No question is more challenging to the understanding of the future of American democracy than the impact of immigration on our political and social life. Karthick Ramakrishnan's book is an important and sophisticated analysis of the subject. He brings new data and new understanding. It will be of value to all who want to know what the future of American civic life will be.”—Professor Sidney Verba, Harvard University
“Democracy in Immigrant America presents a wealth of new insights into immigrant political incorporation, while persistently and profitably challenging existing models of political participation. Ramakrishnan’s book should make an immediate impact in several disciplines and be of considerable interest to policy analysts, political consultants, interest group advocates, and party activists.”
