Reviews for Our Compelling Interests: The Value of Diversity for Democracy and a Prosperous Society
"For a collection of essays, the book is well organized and unusually coherent. Each of the essays makes important contributions to what is likely among the most important challenges the US will face in the twenty-first century. Though balanced, the overall tone is optimistic."
