Abstract:

Will the arrival of Hispanics as the nation’s largest minority group translate into true political clout despite the contested nature of their identity? The perception of “Hispanic” identity as one akin to an ethnicity or a race will not only determine the type of Hispanic outreach pursued by political parties, but their ultimate level of success. Using content analysis of outreach materials and interviews with political strategists, I argue that the assessment of the state of Hispanic identity by the Democratic and Republican parties decides their method of outreach. The ultimate partisan alignment of Hispanics will signify the status of “Hispanicity” based on their motivation for political mobilization on either the axes of solidarity or an adherence to a belief in the American Dream.
