Articles collected within this book examine the usefulness of the census program, the representative accuracy of U.S. census data, and how the U.S. census could be reformed. Because the articles are in a sequence of for or against, readers obtain a terrifically balanced foundation on which to form their own opinions.

Review: The U.S. CensusEach volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series could serve as a model...not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Both shrill and moderate, the selectionsby experts, policy makers, and concerned citizensinclude complete articles and speeches, long book excerpts, and occasional cartoons and boxed quotations...all up to date and fully documented. The editing is intelligent and unobtrusive, organizing the material around substantive issues within the general debate. Brief introductions to each section and to each reading focus the questions raised and offer no slick answers.BooklistRL
