Dominican American Politics : Immigrants, Activists, and Politicians Hardback
by Jacqueline (Bronx Community College, USA) Jimenez Polanco
Part of the Routledge Research in American Politics and Governance series
Hardback
Description
In this book, Jacqueline Jiménez Polanco examines the politics of empowerment of Dominican Americans in the United States.
Covering the first two decades of the twenty-first century, Jiménez Polanco provides a new analytical perspective to understand the political development of a growing ethnic community that has been historically neglected in the studies of Latino/a/x political development and whose peculiar characteristics represent a paradigmatic case that debunks pervading theories about immigrant communities’ participation and representation in U.S. electoral politics. Rich archival research and interviews with key Dominican American leaders and activists shed light on how some patterns followed by Dominican Americans in their political empowerment correspond to those of other Latino/a/x communities, while other patterns distinctly diverge from that common trend.
Dominican American Politics: Immigrants, Activists, and Politicians serves as a perfect companion for courses on Latino/a/x and Dominican studies and U.S. ethnic politics.
