An economic revolution is transforming America: the New Mainstream. In this groundbreaking book, Guy Garcia explains how Americans will eat, work, play, learn, and spend money in the twenty-first century?and why any organization that ignores the lessons of the New Mainstream is doomed to fail.Led by the growing statistical and buying power of blacks, Latinos, and Asians, the New Mainstream is a loose coalition of minorities who have been forced to forge their own identity in American culture?even as they use and consume goods and services targeted to the general public.

As Garcia shows, The New Mainstream is both a wake-up call and a road map to this new economic reality.
