Recenzje

"Insightful, well researched, and highly accessible, this updated and much-improved third edition of Latino Politics provides the most careful and complete analysis of Latinos' political diversity, and of their growing significance in American politics. A must-have resource for any student of Latino politics."Arlene Dávila, New York University"This informative, accessible volume analyzes the diversity among Latinos and emphasizes their disparate histories of migration to the United States. Required reading for those attempting to increase Latinos' political integration through voting or to mobilize them in the face of US nativist policies and rhetoric."Patricia Zavella, University of California, Santa Cruz"García Bedolla and Hosam's award-winning and newly updated Latino Politics has become a classic in its field. A must-have book for scholars of Latinx politics, it does a masterful job analyzing the rich diversity of Latinx populations while also exploring the racialized contexts that bring these populations together. An outstanding work."Cristina Beltrán, New York University"With this revised edition of their definitive study, Lisa García Bedolla and Christian Hosam provide critical frameworks for understanding the breadth and diversity of Latino political life on its own terms. Rich in historical understanding and cultural analysis, Latino Politics will continue to engage students through its incisive assessments of racial incorporation and the dynamics of popular mobilization. Their incisive narrative exposes the constraining power of US majoritarian discourse by attending to the ways Latino mobilizations expand the political field while defending their distinct allegiances and visions of belonging."Alicia Schmidt Camacho, Yale University
