Racism, Latinos, and the Public Policy Process

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Racism, Latinos, and the Public Policy Process is a groundbreaking work which for the first time examines the impact of racism on public policy issues for Latinos. His work is the first to examine how racism impacts voting rights of Latinos by focusing on recent racial redistricting and the passage of the Texas Voter ID law. Combining his training as a political theorist and his long involvement in voting rights cases Dr. Flores provides a unique insight and contribution to the study of racism and public policy." -- Manuel Avalos, University of Southern Maine "Using the metaphor of the Gordian Knot Henry Flores gracefully and simply unties the knot of ignorance about Latinos and racism in the public policy process with clear, concise, sharp, and direct writing. This one-of-a-kind book should be required reading in any course on public policy given that Latinos now are the largest ethnic minority in the nation." -- Jose Angel Gutierrez, Professor Emeritus, University of Texas at Arlington
