This book provides an understanding of the role that Latino
communities play in American politics. In a country marked by
arbitrary and exclusionary electoral practices, minority political
participation is central to remedying the inequity of the electoral
process. The 1993 National Voter Registration act (NVRA) was
enacted to compensate for past exclusionary electoral practices and
was designed to equalize the political playing field so that
disenfranchised groups could achieve parity. The author contends
that, as a result, Latino communities are in a unique position to
seize political clout. First, the growing numbers of Latino
families in strategic electoral states are a significant proportion
of the states' population. Second, the young Latino segment is in
search of community reassurance. Third, the ever-increasing
non-citizen population is demanding the political resources to
become a voice for Latino community interests. Finally, Latino
special interest groups are effectively conducting grass roots
community-based voter registration strategies, including NVRA
mail-in voter registration methods.
