Isreal G. Mallard explores the social\/racial factors that influence the political attitudes of Afro-Latino\/a voters, the Latino voting community at-large, and political representatives. Also, the author examines factors such as ethnicity and “pigmentocracy” (skin-color) which play a role in electing an Afro-Latino\/a to political office Washington, DC. Furthermore, he provides answers to address the social\/racial factors that influence the electability of light-skin and dark-skin self-identified Afro-Latinos\/as running for political office in Washington, DC. In addition, he discusses how social\/racial factors influence the pathway to political office for self-identified Afro-Latinos\/as. He uses a qualitative methodological approach which includes interview participants to provide answers to this study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Background\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Competing Perspectives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Afro-Latino\/a Identity and Electability\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Pathways to Political Office\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Summary, Conclusions, and Policy Recommendations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042003616087,"sku":"9781666908176","price":61.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-politics-of-being-afro-latino-latina-ethnicity-colorism-and-political-representation-in-washington-d-c-9781666908176","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
