Democracy's Promiseexamines both the challenges and opportunities posed to Americancivic institutions by the presence of increasing numbers of immigrants.Author Janelle Wong argues that the low levels of political participationamong contemporary immigrants are not due to apathy orpreoccupation with their homeland, but to the inability of Americanpolitical parties and advocacy organizations to mobilize immigrantvoters.
