Although Latinos are now the largest non-majority group in the
United States, existing research on white attitudes toward Latinos
has focused almost exclusively on attitudes toward immigration.
This book changes that. It argues that such accounts fundamentally
underestimate the political power of whites' animus toward Latinos
and thus miss how conflict extends well beyond immigration to
issues such as voting rights, criminal punishment, policing, and
which candidates to support. Providing historical and cultural
context and drawing on rich survey and experimental evidence, the
authors show that Latino racism-ethnicism is a coherent belief
system about Latinos that is conceptually and empirically distinct
from other forms of out-group hostility, and from partisanship and
ideology. Moreover, animus toward Latinos has become a powerful
force in contemporary American politics, shaping white public
opinion in elections and across a number of important issue areas -
and resulting in policies that harm Latinos disproportionately.
