For the past 30 years, Stephen Klineberg, sociology professor at Rice has been documenting the challenges and illuminating the remarkable transformation of Houston from an Anglo-dominated oil-boom Southern town into a multiethnic global city. Just two months after the first survey was completed, Houston's 80-year oil boom suddenly collapsed. The region recovered from the deep and prolonged recession of the mid-1980s to find itself squarely in the midst of a restructured economy and a demographic revolution. These are the same trends that are rapidly refashioning the social and political landscape across all of urban America.
