About your course materials
Packed with the latest data on race, ethnicity and politics, Reyna's LATINO POLITICS: POWER, INTERSECTIONALITY, AND THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY expands on the growing understanding of the complexity of Latino politics to better equip students to participate in creating 21st century democracy. This groundbreaking first edition explains why learning Latino politics is fundamental to learning American politics, while opening students' eyes to the myriad ways they can participate in U.S. democracy. Combining interdisciplinary and intersectionality approaches, it illustrates how interactions among race, class, gender and age engender Latino political behaviors and shows the impact of these behaviors on power and government institutions over time. Latinos are not a monolithic demographic, making intersectionality an important analysis tool for today's students -- and tomorrow's leaders -- to learn.
