Abstract
Concerning the changing demographics of New York City, John Logan and John Mollenkopf write:
The future of white political power is in coalition or fragmentation. The ability of white political leaders to sustain their electoral majorities in the face of continuing decreases in the white population will depend on their ability either to keep all non white groups fragmented and divided or to forge cross racial or cross-ethnic coalitions of their own.1
