I'm not sure how many people know this, but in 1969 a book was published entitled "The Emerging Republican Majority," and I assume that was the source of the more recent publication's title. Unlike its Democratic counterpart, the earlier work was a highly insightful analysis of the history of voting patterns and the (then) contemporary political realities pointing towards future Republican success. The key distinction is that "The Emerging Republican Majority" focused on the beliefs of the electorate, rather than extrapolating demographic trends and then making the ridiculous assumption that identity groups hold and maintain certain political values over long periods of time.
