Overview

In this prophetic and profoundly hopeful book, Peabody and Emmy(r) Award-winning journalist Geraldo Rivera details the myriad ways Hispanics will help revitalize our declining economy, energize our distressed troops, and invigorate our national government.

Featuring candid and revealing interviews with prominent Hispanics from Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to celebrities including Jennifer Lopez and David Archuleta, The Great Progression presents a fascinating look at the impact Hispanics are making on the social, economic, and political history of the United States. From those breaking boundaries in politics to visionary leaders in the business world to everyday people willing to serve, Hispanics' involvement in society is at an all-time high-and growing exponentially. Geraldo's fearless and judicious reporting addresses the nation's most critical issues under the Obama administration and enlightens those who seek real change and a new, more progressive American era.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
In His Panic, journalist and TV commentator Geraldo Rivera explained why Americans fear the ever-growing Hispanic presence in our midst. In The Great Progression, he turns the tables on those doubters and describes how Hispanics are actually revitalizing our economy and energizing our national defense. Rivera's upbeat thesis and his detailed presentation make this book a welcome addition to debates that until now have generally focused narrowly on illegal immigration. Well-articulated Hispanic pride.
