Garcia focuses on the cultural transformation of the United States as it becomes more Latinized, particularly those aspects having to do with government and politics, public affairs, and the policy-making process. In this book, the only comprehensive and systematic anthology on Latino politics currently available, experts take an in-depth look at the political aspects of this Latinization and provide an overview of its political potential.
