Does America Have a Soul?
Since the publication of Care of the soul four years ago, I’ve traveled the country giving talks,
signing books, and having conversations on talk radio. I have learned there are large numbers of
Americans (maybe not the majority) who are passionate about, or at least interested in, shaping
their lives to be humane, individual, socially tolerant and contributing, and spiritual by some
definition. They are hungry for whatever it is that makes life worth living and are concerned about
their own souls and the soul of their country.
One moment in my travel stands out. I was giving a talk in a large auditorium in New
England when a woman sitting in the balcony stood up and told the story of having just quit
her job. She had young children and was full of anxiety about her financial future, but she knew the
work she had been doing was hurting her soul, so she made the tough decision to take the leap and
hope something better. The audience reacted to her story with wild foot-stomping, whistles, screams,
and prolonged applause. I was shocked by their intensity, their obvious identification with her
plight, but I have since witnessed these emotions in other parts of the country.
From Mother Jones magazine.

Latino America
Latinos are changing the way the country looks, feels and thinks, eats, dances and votes. From
teeming immigrant meccas to small-town America, they are filling churches, building businesses and
celebrating their Latin heritage. In a special NEWSWEEK poll of Latinos, 83 percent said being Hispanic
was important to their identity. They are overwhelmingly Roman Catholic; 42 percent go to church
once a week. They’ve become a potent, increasingly unpredictable political force: 37 percent of 18-
to 34-year-old Latinos say they are independent, about twice as many as their Hispanic elders. In
America, a country that constantly redefines itself, the rise of Latinos also raises questions about
race, identity and culture — and whether the United States will ever truly be one nation.
The numbers couldn’t be clearer. Fueled by massive (and mostly legal) immigration and high birthrates,
the Latino population has grown 38 percent since 1990 — to 31 million — while the overall population
has grown just 9 percent. And with more than a third of Latino population still under 18, the boom is
just beginning. By the year 2005, Latinos are projected to be the largest minority in the country, passing
non-Hispanic blacks for the first time. By 2050, nearly one quarter of the population will be Latino.
