This book argues that Latino representation in U.S. legislative institutions is shaped not only by demographics but by legislative institutional design, as well as elite-driven methods, features of the electoral system, and the increasing mainstreaming of Latinos in American society. The election of Latino legislators in the United States is thus complex and varied. This book provides evidence on how successful Latinos have been in winning state legislative and congressional districts in which they have no natural advantage. In particular, this book demonstrates that Latino candidates benefit from higher percentages of Latino citizens in the state, more liberal citizenries and citizen legislatures. Jason Casellas argues that the legislatures most conducive to the election of Latino candidates are Florida, New Mexico and California, whereas the least conducive are the U.S. House and New York.

En novembre 2020, les Américains font face à une urgence : libérer leur pays des politiques trumpistes dévastatrices. C’est ainsi qu’ils élisent Joseph Biden. Et le 46ème président des Etats-Unis s’attaque, dès son investiture, à des dossiers problématiques laissés en suspens, voire mis à mal par son prédécesseur. Modeste et empathique, il se montre sensé et sensible à la condition de ses compatriotes, mû ni par la prétention, ni par l’orgueil, mais par le simple désir de servir. Mais saura-t-il réorganiser le paysage politique américain ? Pourra-t-il aplanir les inégalités sociales ? Parviendra-t-il à limiter la polarisation qui fait rage au détriment des valeurs nationales ? Dans cet ouvrage, Gilles Vandal esquisse le portrait d'un chef de file d'une nation ravagée par les tensions politiques et les crispations identitaires. Entre biographie et analyse politique, il retrace le parcours du président des États-Unis pour connaître l'homme et comprendre le politicien.
