With Latinos on the cusp of greatly enhanced power, this book illustrates the many nuances to Latino politics in contemporary America.\" - Gary M. Segura,co-author of Latino Lives in America \"This outstanding collection of research articles by some of the brightest minds in political science should be read by everyone interested in the politics of race and ethnicity in the United States and especially by those who want to know considerably more about Latinos, the most fascinating and complicated identity group in America today. The range of topics covered in the book is very impressive as well.\" - Valerie Martinez-Ebers,editor of American Political Science Review and author of Latinos in the New Millenniu \"This volume brings together a number of excellent articles on central questions in Latino politics written by an impressive and accomplished group of scholars. The sections and various chapters therein engage and inform several themes that, while clearly important, have generally been under-studied and\/or under-appreciated.
