Latino Mayors: Political Change in the Postindustrial City

Join the Initiative on Cities, the Latin American Studies program, and the Center for Latin American Studies on Thursday, November 14th for a book talk with Marion Orr, the co-editor of Latino Mayors: Political Change in the Postindustrial City. As recently as the early 1960s, Latinos were almost totally excluded from city politics. This makes the rise of Latino mayors in the past three decades a remarkable American story—one that explains ethnic succession, changing urban demography, and political contexts. Latino Mayors features case studies of eleven Latino mayors in six American cities: San Antonio, Los Angeles, Denver, Hartford, Miami, and Providence. Lunch provided.
