As recently as the early 1960s, Latinos were almost totally
excluded from city politics. This makes the rise of Latino mayors
in the past three decades a remarkable American story-one that
explains ethnic succession, changing urban demography, and
political contexts. The vibrant collection Latino Mayors features
case studies of eleven Latino mayors in six American cities: San
Antonio, Los Angeles, Denver, Hartford, Miami, and Providence. The
editors and contributors analyze Latino mayors for their governing
styles and policies. They describe how candidates shaped race,
class, and economic issues-particularly in deracialized campaigns.
Latino Mayors also addresses coalition politics, political
incorporation, and how community groups operate, as well as the
challenges these pioneers have faced in office from political
tensions and governance issues that sometimes even harm Latinos.
Ultimately, Latino Mayors charts the performances, successes, and
failures of these elected officials to represent their constituents
in a changing economic and urban environment. Contributors include:
Stefanie Chambers, Carlos E. Cuellar, Emily M. Farris, Maria
Ilcheva, Robert Preuhs, Heywood T. Sanders, Ellen Shiau, and the
editors.
