Latino Politics (3rd Ed.)

Langue : Anglais

Auteurs :

Couverture de l’ouvrage Latino Politics

The third edition of this popular text provides students with a comprehensive introduction to Latino political engagement in US politics. Focusing on six Latino groups ? Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Dominicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans ? the book explores the migration history of each and examines their political status on arrival in the United States, including their civil rights, employment opportunities, and political incorporation. Finally, the analysis follows each group?s history of collective mobilization and political activity, drawing out the varied ways they have engaged in the US political system.

Fully revised and updated, the new edition explores the state of Latino politics under both the Obama and Trump Administrations, discussing issues such as migrant detention at the US?Mexico border, the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, and the thawing of relations between the United States and Cuba. It encourages students to think critically about what it means to be a racialized minority group within a majoritarian US political system, and how that position structures Latinos? ability to achieve their social, economic, and political goals.
