Latino Politics en Ciencia Política: The Search for Latino Identity and Racial Consciousness

A “collection of cutting-edge research” on the political diversity of Latino communities: “a must-read for students and researchers alike” (American Politics).

Latinos constitute the largest, fastest-growing, and most diverse minority group in the United States. A critical voting bloc in both Presidential and Congressional races, this demographic will only become more important in future American elections. Latino Politics en Ciencia Política explores the political diversity within this community, and how intra-community differences influence political behavior and policy preferences.

The editors and contributors, all noted scholars of race and politics, draw on evidence from the largest-ever scientific survey addressed exclusively to Latino/Hispanic respondents. They examine key issues such as Latino/a identities (latinidad), transnationalism, acculturation, political community, and racial consciousness.

The book contextualizes today's research within the history of Latino political studies, from the field's beginnings to the present, explaining how systematic analysis of Latino political behavior has over time become integral to the study of political science. Latino Politics en Ciencia Política is thus an ideal text for learning both the state of the field today, and key dimensions of Latino political attitudes.
