Dominican Political Rising in NYC - A Case Study for Urban Ethnic Political Incorporation

Dominican Political Rising in NYC traces how a relatively recent immigrant community became a consequential force in the city s governing coalitions. Centering New York s post 1965 migration, the book situates Dominican mobilization within shifting urban pluralism, party machines, and inter and intra ethnic competition across Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. Drawing on oral histories, demographic and electoral data, and author s candidacy during the 2021 cycle, the study follows leaders incubated in churches, CUNY campuses, trade associations, and community based organizations amidst anti immigrant politics and transnational ties.
