Ethnic Ironies - Latino Politics In The 1992 Elections (Paperback, New Ed)

"Ethnic Ironies" describes the role of Latino electorates in national- and state-level politics during the 1992 elections. The book examines Latino politics from the top down--looking at the efforts of candidates and campaigns to speak to Latino concerns and to mobilize Latino voters--and from the bottom up--reviewing the efforts of Latinos to win electoral office and to influence electoral outcomes.Chronicling the campaigns and uncovering patterns of Latino influence, the core of the book consists of eight state-level analyses by experts who have observed firsthand the states with the most sizable Latino electorates. An overview chapter synthesizes and integrates the findings of these case studies, placing them in national perspective."Ethnic Ironies" is the third in a series of studies on Latino electoral behavior published by Westview Press, including "From Rhetoric to Reality: Latino Politics in the 1988 Elections" and "Barrio Ballots: Latino Politics in the 1990 Elections." This latest study also serves as a companion volume to "Latino Voices: Mexican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban Perspectives on American Politics" and "New Americans by Choice: Political Perspectives of Latino Immigrants."
