{"product_id":"the-trouble-with-unity-cristina-beltran-9780195375916","title":"The Trouble with Unity: Latino Politics and the Creation of Identity","description":"Over the past decade, much attention has been given to examining the growing political influence of Latinos in the United States in order to define the so-called \"Latino vote.\" The existence of a coherent, pan-ethnic Latino political agenda is, as this book shows, not only highly debatable, but democratically unviable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSituated at the intersection of political theory and Latino studies, \u003cem\u003eThe Trouble with Unity\u003c\/em\u003e is a nuanced critique of civic Latinidad and the Latino electoral and protest politics that work to erase diversity and debate in favor of images of commonality. Cristina Beltr疣 looks at key moments in U.S. Latino political history through the lens of political, feminist, and cultural thought to provide a theoretically driven account of the many ways in which Latinos lay claim to the public realm. In its innovative approach to the realities of Latino protest politics, \u003cem\u003eThe Trouble with Unity\u003c\/em\u003e advances both social movement and democratic political theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cristina Beltran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195375912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195375916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011","brand":"Cristina Beltran","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981485637887,"sku":"9780195375916","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_14b7c4b3-8193-47d9-b229-7356fc068f80.jpg?v=1683255857","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-trouble-with-unity-cristina-beltran-9780195375916","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
