Despite its colonial history and accompanying moniker as a “nation of immigrants,” the United States has only recently regained its status as a multicultural nation. In the four-decade period between 1924 and 1965, the United States firmly shut its fabled “golden door” to international migration by systematically prohibiting new entrants from Asia, Latin America, Africa and much of Europe. During that time, its population changed as a result of internal dynamics rather than immigration, and by the time of the Civil Rights Act (1964) and Voting Rights Act (1965), the United States had become a polity described racially as white and black. Nearly a half-century later, and after the reopening of the nation’s borders to foreign migration, the United States is once again visibly a nation of immigrants. More than a third of the population considers itself to be a race other than white, and foreign-born Americans and their second-generation offspring make up more than 20 percent of the U.S. population. How do and how can people with this diverse a set of backgrounds, racial and ethnic identities, languages, and religions get along in politics? This paper considers the question of how racial and ethnic diversity is leveraged in U.S. democracy by highlighting the role of community organizations, political movements, and organized interests in creating social capital among Asian Americans.
