Majority minority: A book event with Justin Gest
In his new book “Majority Minority” (Oxford University Press, 2022), Justin Gest studies six societies where the original religious or ethnic majority gradually lost its numerical advantage, ranging from Singapore around 1830 to Bahrain in recent decades. As the United States undergoes its own majority minority transition, these experiences highlight how government responses and the construction of national identity shape polarization and our capacity to peacefully coexist.
