In 2020, Latinos became the second largest ethnic voting group in the country. They make up the largest plurality of residents in the most populous states in the union, as well as the fastest segment of the most important swing states in the US Electoral College. Fitting neither the stereotype of the aggrieved minority voter nor the traditional assimilating immigrant group, Latinos are challenging both political parties' notions of race, religious beliefs, economic success, and the American dream. Given their exploding numbers--and their growing ability to determine the fate of local, state, and national elections--you'd think the two major political parties would understand Latino voters. After all, their emergence on the national scene is not a new phenomenon. But they still don't. Republicans, not because of their best efforts but rather despite them, are just beginning to see a movement of Latinos toward the GOP. Democrats, for the moment, still win a commanding share of the Latino vote, but that share is dwindling fast. Now, in The Latino Century, veteran political consultant Mike Madrid uses thirty years of research and campaign experience at some of the highest levels on both sides of the aisle to address what might be the most critical questions of our time: Will the rise of Latino voters continue to foment the hyper-partisan and explosive tribalism of our age or will they usher in a new pluralism that advances the arc of social progress? How and why are both political parties so uniquely unprepared for the coming wave of Latino votes? And what must each party do to win those votes? By answering these questions, The Latino Century explores the true meaning of America at a time of rapid cultural change, the founding principles of self-government and individual responsibility, and one man's journey through a political party that has turned itself inside out. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x History. 650 0 $a Latin Americans $x Politics and government. 650 0 $a Latin Americans $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Latin Americans $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2021- 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 2017-2021. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240702042950.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6775B70E383E11EFA74ADF9234ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
