Beskrivning
Due to the dramatic growth of the Latino population in the United States, in combination with the relative decline of the Anglo (non-Hispanic white) share, Latino studies is increasingly at the forefront of political concern. In ""Latino Politics; Identity, Mobilization, and Representation"", editors Rodolfo Espino, David L. Leal, and Kenneth J. Meier bring together essays from a number of leading scholars to address the ever-more-important issues within the field. Providing an overview of issues surrounding Latino identity, political opinion, and political behavior - such as differences among Latino groups based on national origin, the importance of descriptive representation, and issues of competition and cooperation, particularly with reference to African Americans - the contributors speak to the many fundamental debates ingrained in the discipline.

Recensioner i media

This book makes an important and substantial contribution to the field of Latino political studies. It is very well organized to focus on important political questions (e.g., Latino identity politics, Latino public opinion, transnational political identities of Latino immigrants, the political mobilization of Latinos, social capital and Latino politics, Latinos and coalitional politics, Latinos' empowerment efforts in governmental institutions, etc.), and the authors of each essay are careful to frame their inquiries to analyze the available data in a very consistent and effective manner. The book will be indispensable to Latino politics scholars, and will be of special interest to scholars focused on a range of important political matters. - Ronald Schmidt Sr., California State University, Long Beach, author of Language Policy and Identity Politics in the United States
