This exemplary contribution to the literature on ethnic studies
examines the issues surrounding Mexican-American political
empowerment in the United States. The chapters, originally
contributions to a symposium at the University of Texas in El Paso,
are uniformly engaging, rigorous in their analysis, and richly
suggestive in their conclusions. This exceptionally fine collection
discusses the political history of Mexican-Americans, the role of
their interest groups, educational models, local bureaucracies, and
electoral strategies. Noteworthy are the barriers to Chicano
authority found in Los Angeles and Texas. Strongly recommended.
Library Journal This timely book is among the first to be published
that directly addresses the political empowerment of Hispanics. The
contributors concern themselves not only with the progress and
problems of political empowerment, but also with the prospects of
future empowerment--the political strategies and agendas for the
next decade. Conducted by a group of scholars well known for their
research on Chicano politics, the studies suggest that while
substantial progress has been made in opening political doors to
Mexican Americans, most of their political potential has yet to be
realized. The volume begins with an overview of the history of
Mexican-American political empowerment from 1850 to the present.
Institutional, procedural, and ideological barriers to success in
American politics for Mexican- Americans are reviewed. An
examination of two major politics for paradigms for educational
achievement reflect different views on educational success and
failure. The bureaucracy of local government and its sensitivity in
increasing political representation in Los Angeles, the development
of political organization and leadership, and future legal issues
are covered. In the conclusion, the various perspectives of the
contributors are synthesized to point the way to the next level of
Mexican-American empowerment, and ultimately, to a general theory
of political integration.
