{"product_id":"mobilizing-opportunities-ricardo-ramirez-9780813938110","title":"Mobilizing Opportunities: The Evolving Latino Electorate and the Future of American Politics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe growth of the Latino population is the most significant demographic shift in the United States today. Yet growth alone cannot explain this population's increasing impact on the electorate; nor can a parsing of its subethnicities. In the most significant analysis to date on the growing political activation of Latinos, Ricardo Ram rez identifies when and where Latino participation in the political process has come about as well as its many motivations. Using a state-centered approach, the author focuses on the interaction between demographic factors and political contexts, from long-term trends in party competition, to the resources and mobilization efforts of ethnic organizations and the Spanish-language media, to the perception of political threat as a basis for mobilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe picture that emerges is one of great temporal and geographic variation. In it, Ram rez captures the transformation of Latinos' civic and political reality and the engines behind the evolution of this crucial electorate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRace, Ethnicity, and Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricardo Ramirez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813938112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813938110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Virginia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.45d","brand":"Ricardo Ramirez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199057875199,"sku":"9780813938110","price":24.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e79f6761-9017-413f-80f1-933d8d865288.jpg?v=1727924908","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mobilizing-opportunities-ricardo-ramirez-9780813938110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
