Growing American Roots: Why Our Nation Will Thrive as Our Largest Minority Flourishes

From the highest-ranking Hispanic in congressional history comes an inspiring vision for our country's future.

For Senator Bob Menendez, it's about time the truth about Hispanics and their potential in this nation is brought into the spotlight. Instead of viewing Latinos as the cause of many of America's problems, he sees quite the opposite-and in this book he takes a unique approach by imagining a hopeful future for our nation. With the step-by-step plan that Menendez has devised, the United States' future will be made brighter and more successful precisely because of, not in spite of, the burgeoning influence of the Hispanic population as it "grows its American roots."

Senator Robert Menendez rose to become the third-highest ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives before taking office in the Senate in 2006. He is the first person of Hispanic ethnicity to represent New Jersey in the U.S. Senate, and only the sixth Hispanic in history to serve in that body.
