Description
This new, fully revised edition of Latino Political Power reflects a diverse community evolving in its ethnic, racial, and sexual identities, as well as in its voting behavior and party affiliations.
Sharon Navarro and Kim Geron map the transformation of Latino political power from the 1960s to the present. Comprehensive and accessible, their analysis of the complex processes of political incorporation, representation, and inclusion at all levels of government is based on the most current data available.
With an entirely new chapter on Latinas as candidates and as elected officials in 2021–2022, discussion of the latest voting-rights cases, and rich case studies throughout, this up-to-date text will provide readers with a solid understanding—and appreciation—of Latino political power today.
Sharon A. Navarro is professor of political science at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Kim Geron is professor emeritus of political science at California State University East Bay.
