Awash In The Mainstream: Latino Politics In The 1996 Election

by Rodolfo O. de la Garza (Editor)

Overview

We would like to thank a number of campaign professionals and observers who shared their experiences and insights with us during and after the 1996 campaign. Without these practical and nuanced insights, we would not be able to present as complete a portrait of the election and the Latino contribution to its outcome. Our thanks to Ronald Blackburn- Moreno, Rita Di Martino, Maria Echaveste, Charles Kamasaki, Ken Mireles, Norma Patif'l.o-Lippe, Jason Poblete, Jorge Ramirez, Margaret Ramos, Nelson Reineri, and Jonathan Tilove.
