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.
Reviews
"The
Rise of Hispanic Political Power is a much-needed book, and José de la Isla

Book Description
The 2000 election was decided by Florida Cuban voters, by Hispanics. The legal
quagmire that followed election day was settled by the U.S. Supreme Court, thus
validating George W. Bush’s victory. From that moment to now, President Bush
has reached out to the fastest growing group in the country-Hispanics-like no
President ever. There are many in the country who can’t or don’t want to
believe the President’s Hispanic efforts are worthwhile, or legitimate. This
book explains why and where Hispanics are important to the President.
The Rise of
the Hispanic Market in the United States:
Challenges, Dilemmas, and Opportunities for Corporate Management

Publisher: M.E. Sharpe
Description: Not only are Hispanics the largest minority group in the United States, but Mexico is fast becoming our major trading partner, surpassing even Japan. In fact, the U.S. now has the fourth largest Spanish-speaking population in the world, after Mexico, Spain, and Argentina. How has this demographic group transformed the U.S. into a bi-lingual nation within the span of a generation? Why do Hispanics resist assimilation and insist on speaking Spanish in public life? And how can businesses effectively reach the emerging Hispanic consumer market with its estimated puchasing power of $1 trillion by 2010?
These questions constitute the single-most important marketing challenge for corporate America in the twenty-first century. This book examines the Hispanic worldview and how it informs their economic decisions, both in the United States and across North America. It challenges the viewpoint that American culture will soon dominate its NAFTA trading partners, looks carefully at the market for Hispanic goods in the U.S. and the market for our goods throughout the Spanish-speaking world, and shows how marketeers are now reaching the Hispanic community domestically. The information and insights found here are essential for teachers, students, and professionals in the fields of international finance and world trade, as well as almost all areas of business, marketing, and strategic planning.
