ABSTRACT
The approaching millennium provides a marker for this country’s changing demographic landscape. The most immediately visible of these changes is the increasing cultural diversity of our population. Fueled by a shift in immigration away from Europe toward Latin America and Southeast Asia and by proportionately higher fertility rates among people of color in this country, the browning of America is proceeding so rapidly that we are only now beginning to grasp its dimensions. Its implications for our work as developmentally oriented researchers have yet to be delineated.
