The Rise of Hispanic Political Power is the first detailed inside look at the growth in significance of this powerful political block. Journalist José de la Isla takes a hardball look at Hispanic politics from the Nixon presidency up to the current administration of George W. Bush. The Republican and Democrat parties, the key legislation, the political players, the insiders and outsiders, and the various factions (Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, Cubanos and other Latin Americans), all receive equal scrutiny from de la Isla as he unravels over four decades of political action.

A must-read for political junkies, students of political history, and a virtual handbook for political parties aspiring to get and keep this important voting block in their camp.
