520    "The Rise of the Latino Vote examines the struggles of 
       activists and elected officials from the 1960s to the 
       1980s to mold Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans
       into a single national political constituency. Its 
       argument is three-fold. First, it argues that the drive to
       forge the "Spanish-speaking vote," as it was first called-
       -and not simple demographic growth--that led the federal 
       government to recognize "Hispanics" as a national minority
       group, shattering forever the nation's black/white binary.
       Second, the book argues that establishing a channel for 
       "Spanish-speaking" electoral and policy participation both
       contributed to the collapse of the New Deal order and 
       embedded parts of that very order's economic vision in the
       multicultural era that ensued. Indeed, the making of the 
       "Hispanic Vote" revealed an "identity politics" deeply 
       entwined with "class" considerations. Third, the book 
       demonstrates that the "Hispanic" constituency's emergence 
       rested on a fundamental uncertainty: Was Hispanic politics
       about assembling a coalition of existing peoples, or 
       rather a vehicle to transcend national origin differences 
       to articulate the values and desires of a new of U.S.-
       based community?"--|cProvided by publisher.
