Its argument is three-fold. First, it argues that the drive to forge the "Spanish-speaking vote," as it was first called--and not simple demographic growth--that led the federal government to recognize "Hispanics" as a national minority group, shattering forever the nation's black/white binary. Second, the book argues that establishing a channel for "Spanish-speaking" electoral and policy participation both contributed to the collapse of the New Deal order and embedded parts of that very order's economic vision in the multicultural era that ensued. Indeed, the making of the "Hispanic Vote" revealed an "identity politics" deeply entwined with "class" considerations. Third, the book demonstrates that the "Hispanic" constituency's emergence rested on a fundamental uncertainty: Was Hispanic politics about assembling a coalition of existing peoples, or rather a vehicle to transcend national origin differences to articulate the values and desires of a new of U.S.-based community?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Political activity. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Ethnic identity. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Suffrage. 650 0 $a Hispanic Americans $x Politics and government $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Ethnic identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957556 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957585 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957586 650 7 $a Hispanic Americans $x Suffrage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957613 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317013543.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191204015851.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=781C018AFF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
