But the existence of a coherent Latino political agenda is highly debatable and likely unviable, as electoral and protest politics erase diversity and debate in favor of images of unity. Situated at the intersection of political theory and Latino studies, this book is the first comprehensive critique of civic Latinidad, analyzing the relationship among participatory democracy, public speech, and racial identification.Hispanic AmericansEthnic identityHispanic AmericansCivil rightsHispanic AmericansPolitics and governmentPolitical participationUnited StatesVotingUnited StatesPower (Social sciences)United StatesElectronic books.Hispanic AmericansEthnic identity.Hispanic AmericansCivil rights.Hispanic AmericansPolitics and government.Political participationVotingPower (Social sciences)973.0468Beltrán Cristina923874MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466314203321The trouble with unity2073332UNINA
