Ethnic ironies

About this book

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 upreviewing the efforts of Latinos to win electoral office and to influence electoral outcomes. The core of the book consists of eight state-level analyses by experts in their respective states and a chapter that synthesizes and integrates the findings of these case studies.
