Coalition formation is mounting among Latinos as they acquire
greater strength in U.S. politics. This collection of essays is the
first complete study of Latino political coalitions. It elaborates
on "Latino Empowerment: Progress, Problems, and ProspectS"
(Greenwood Press, 1988), an earlier collection by the same editors
that studied Latino empowerment in general. The contributors to
"Latinos and Political CoalitionS" detail how coalitional politics
have become a major avenue of empowerment for the Latino
community.
The contributors illuminate the historical and cyclical changes
in the political life of the Latino community by exploring
coalitional politics at all levels and stages: from new coalitions
attempting to broaden their power base to established
organizational coalitions working to support or defeat legislation.
The media, community response, language policy, immigration reform,
the labor movement, municipal politics, and voter mobilization are
among the topics covered. This collection concludes with
theoretical insights about minority group coalitions and offers a
comprehensive bibliography. It will be valuable for courses and
research in political science, sociology, Chicano studies, and
history.
