Beschreibung:
Atiya Kai Stokes-Brown is an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Bucknell University, USA. Her research focuses on the political incorporation of women and racial/ethnic groups into the American political system, and issues of representation.
The Politics of Race in Latino Communities is an innovative examination of development and political consequences of Latino racial identity in the U.S. Drawing on a national political survey of Latinos and focus group interviews, the book shows that development of Latino racial identity is a complex interaction between primordial ties, institutional practices, individual characteristics, and social interactions. Furthermore, the book highlights the political relevance of identity, showing that racial identity has meaningful consequences for the political attitudes, opinions, and behaviors of Latinos. An important piece of research propelling new discussions and insights into Latino politics.
