Due to the dramatic growth of the Latino population in America,
in combination with the relative decline of the Anglo (non-Hispanic
white) share, Latino Studies is increasingly at the forefront of
political concern. With "Latino Politics: Identity, Mobilization,
and Representation," editors Rodolfo Espino, David L. Leal, and
Kenneth J. Meier bring together essays from a number of leading
scholars to address the ever-more important issues within the
field. Providing an overview of issues surrounding Latino identity
and political opinion--such as differences among Latino groups
based on national origin, the importance of descriptive
representation, and issues of competition and cooperation,
particularly with reference to African Americans--the editors speak
to the many fundamental debates ingrained in the discipline.
In addition to highlighting important contributions of the study
of Latino politics to date, this volume suggests areas that have
yet to be explored and, perhaps more importantly, demonstrates how
the study of Latino politics relates to broader questions of
American politics and society. Foregrounding debates in the overall
discipline of political science, the collection will appeal to
those who study Latino politics as well as those who are interested
in understanding American politics and society with reference to
Latino and "minority" concerns.
