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. Cuéllar, Emily
M. Farris, Maria Ilcheva, Robert Preuhs, Heywood T. Sanders, Ellen
Shiau, and the editors.
