An in-depth look at how U.S. Latino advocacy groups are using
ethnoracial demographic projections to bring about political change
in the present For years, newspaper headlines, partisan speeches,
academic research, and even comedy routines have communicated that
the United States is undergoing a profound demographic
transformation-one that will purportedly change the "face" of the
country in a matter of decades. But the so-called browning of
America, sociologist Michael Rodriguez-Muniz contends, has less to
do with the complexion of growing populations than with past and
present struggles shaping how demographic trends are popularly
imagined and experienced. Offering an original and timely window
into these struggles, Figures of the Future explores the population
politics of national Latino civil rights groups. Based on eight
years of ethnographic and qualitative research, spanning both the
Obama and Trump administrations, this book investigates how several
of the most prominent of these organizations-including UnidosUS
(formerly NCLR), the League of United Latin American Citizens, and
Voto Latino-have mobilized demographic data about the Latino
population in dogged pursuit of political recognition and
influence. In census promotions, get-out-the-vote campaigns, and
policy advocacy, this knowledge has been infused with meaning,
variously serving as future-oriented sources of inspiration,
emblems for identification, and weapons for contestation. At the
same time, Rodriguez-Muniz considers why these political actors
have struggled to translate this demographic growth into tangible
political gain and how concerns about white backlash have affected
how they forecast demographic futures. Figures of the Future looks
closely at the politics surrounding ethnoracial demographic changes
and their rising influence in U.S. public debate and discourse.
