Democracy in Immigrant America Changing Demographics and Political Participation

Zusatztext "Karthick Ramakrishnan unifies the scholarship on Latino and Asian American voting behavior with the scholarship on immigrant voting behavior to present a theoretically and empirically rich analysis of ethnic voting in the United States. All scholars of American voting behavior who seek to understand the nation's future electorates should have this volume on their shelves." Informationen zum Autor S. Karthick Ramakrishnan is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of California, Riverside. Klappentext Democracy in Immigrant America provides a comprehensive analysis of democratic participation among first- and second-generation immigrants in the United States, addressing the questions that are integral to understanding the present-day realities of immigrant politics: How are immigrants changing the racial and ethnic makeup of the American electorate? How do their numbers compare to those in the early 20th century? Do traditional models of political behavior explain the voting participation of immigrants, and should new factors related to immigrant adaptation be considered? By addressing these questions, Democracy in Immigrant America points the way forward for a new research agenda in immigrant politics. Zusammenfassung This book provides a comprehensive analysis of democratic participation among first- and second-generation immigrants in the United States.
