520    "Portrait of America describes our nation's changing 
       population and examines through a demographic lens some of
       our most pressing contemporary challenges, ranging from 
       poverty and economic inequality to racial tensions and 
       health disparities. Celebrated author John Iceland covers 
       various topics, including America's historical demographic
       growth; the American family today; gender inequality; 
       economic well-being; immigration and diversity; racial and
       ethnic inequality; internal migration and residential 
       segregation; and health and mortality. The discussion of 
       these topics is informed by several sources, including an 
       examination of household survey data, and by syntheses of 
       existing published material, both quantitative and 
       qualitative. Iceland discusses the current issues and 
       controversies around these themes, highlighting their role
       in everyday debates taking place in Congress, the media, 
       and in American living rooms. Each chapter includes 
       historical background, as well as a discussion of how 
       patterns and trends in the United States compare to those 
       in peer countries"--|cProvided by publisher.
