Reviews"This study offers a compelling account of how Latinos in Arizona organized and increased their electoral clout to change the landscape of state politics. Through grassroots networks and dogged determination, Latinos successfully pushed back on anti-immigrant and anti-Latino policies and politicians. As the largest ethnoracial minority in the nation, Latinos will continue to command attention as governing structures incorporate (or not) their participation in communities across the country."--Christine Marie Sierra, co-author of Contested Transformation: Race, Gender, and Political Leadership in 21st Century America "This book is a fascinating historical account of how Latinos in Arizona have faced political disenfranchisement and even outright hostility to their rights and even their very presence in the state and their recent mobilization to push back. It is a book that comes to add substantially to our understanding of how the largest minority in the United States, Latinos, is helping to realign politics--in Arizona, the Southwest, and beyond. This book is a text that shows the reader a microcosm of how minorities have had to struggle to expand political rights through history--first African Americans in the South and now Latinos in the Southwest."--Tony Payan, author of The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars: Drugs, Immigration, and Homeland Security, "This study offers a compelling account of how Latinos in Arizona organized and increased their electoral clout to change the landscape of state politics.

While the authors introduce an overwhelmingly broad cast of characters, organizations, and legislation to their readers, it makes a convincing case for how Latinos have revitalized Democratic Party politics in Arizona."--Emiliano Aguilar, Journal of Arizona History, "This study offers a compelling account of how Latinos in Arizona organized and increased their electoral clout to change the landscape of state politics.
