From Inclusion to Influence
Latino Representation in Congress and Latino Political Incorporation in America
In From Inclusion to Influence, Walter Wilson addresses urgent questions regarding the political incorporation of Latinos in America.
First, he demonstrates that Latino representatives in the U.S. Congress do, in fact, represent Latino interests more effectively than do other representatives, both by serving as conduits connecting fellow Latinos to the government and by introducing their concerns into the legislative process.
Then, moving beyond the debate about descriptive and substantive representation, Wilson identifies the ways in which the efforts of Latinos in Congress enable the meaningful inclusion of Latinos in politics, foster the ability of Latinos to shape public policy, and ultimately promote democracy in an increasingly diverse nation.
