Latinos are the fastest growing population group in the U.S. and
have exerted widespread influence in numerous aspects of American
culture from entertainment to economics. Unlike Asian, black,
white, and Native Americans who are defined by race, Latinos can be
of any race and are beginning to shed new light on the meanings and
political implications of race. As the Latino population grows, how
will Latinos come to define themselves racially given the long
standing social order of black and white? What are the political
implications of their chosen racial identities? How does Latinos'
racial identity influence their political behavior and motivation
for participation? The Politics of Race in Latino Communities is an
innovative examination of development and political consequences of
Latino racial identity in the U.S. Drawing on a national political
survey of Latinos and focus group interviews, the book shows that
development of Latino racial identity is a complex interaction
between primordial ties, institutional practices, individual
characteristics, and social interactions. Furthermore, the book
highlights the political relevance of identity, showing that racial
identity has meaningful consequences for the political attitudes,
opinions, and behaviors of Latinos. An important piece of research
propelling new discussions and insights into Latino politics.
