The volume is the most recent installment in the quadrennial analyses of Latinos and national elections begun in 1988 by Rodolfo de la Garza and Louis DeSipio. This ongoing project is the only scholarly effort to track the emergence of Latino influence in U.S. politics over the last two decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume examines how and when Latinos were the focus of candidate\/campaign mobilization, how Latinos themselves organized to influence electoral outcomes, and where and under what circumstances they succeeded. In addition to state-level analyses, \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Barrio\u003c\/i\u003e presents an analytical overview of the national presidential campaign that includes measures of Latino influence and a review of state and local contests that led to the election of Latino officials. It also extends the analysis to states with small Latino populations that are just beginning to organize. The editors consider 2004 as a \"signpost\" election, in which both major parties began a transition from symbolic gestures toward Latino voters to more serious, issue-related efforts to court the Latino vote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The expertise of the contributors ensures that \u003ci\u003eBeyond the Barrio\u003c\/i\u003e avoids simple generalizations about the \"Latino vote\" and illustrates its complexity, as well as the opportunities and challenges faced by Latino voters and Latino leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rodolfo De La Garza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268025991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268025991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.99h x 6.41w x 1.07d","brand":"Rodolfo De La Garza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48799293210879,"sku":"9780268025991","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-the-barrio-rodolfo-de-la-garza-9780268025991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
