Drawing from one hundred in-depth interviews, Lisa García Bedolla compares the political attitudes and behavior of Latinos in two communities: working-class East Los Angeles and middle-class Montebello. Asking how collective identity and social context have affected political socialization, political attitudes and practices, and levels of political participation among the foreign born and native born, she offers new findings that are often at odds with the conventional wisdom emphasizing the role socioeconomic status plays in political involvement. Fluid Borders includes the voices of many individuals, offers exciting new research on Latina women indicating that they are more likely than men to vote and to participate in political activities, and considers how the experience of social stigma affects the collective identification and political engagement of members of marginal groups. This innovative study points the way toward a better understanding of the Latino political experience, and how it differs from that of other racial groups, by situating it at the intersection of power, collective identity, and place. 606 $aHispanic Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$vInterviews 606 $aWorking class$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$vInterviews 606 $aHispanic Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xPolitics and government 606 $aHispanic Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xEthnic identity 606 $aHispanic Americans$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$xSocial conditions 606 $aSocial classes$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xPolitics and government 607 $aLos Angeles (Calif.)$xSocial conditions 615 0$aHispanic Americans 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aSocial classes 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 676 $a979.4/9400468 700 $aGarcia Bedolla$b Lisa$f1969-$00 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827000703321 996 $aFluid borders$94086939 997 $aUNINA
