Summary

Have decades of pressure from various racial and ethnic groups, feminists, and gay men and lesbians resulted in a more culturally diverse power elite in America? This important book investigates the extent to which women, Jews, African Americans, Latinos, Asian Americans, and openly homosexual men and women have attained important positions in large corporations, the military, and the government in recent years.
