Campaigning to<br />
the New American<br />
Electorate<br />
Advertising to<br />
Latino Voters<br />
Marisa A. Abrajano<br />
“This is a compelling study of<br />
campaign advertising in an<br />
increasingly diverse nation. The<br />
topic is quite timely and the<br />
question of how campaigns<br />
reach out to Latino voters will<br />
continue to be a subject of great<br />
importance into the future. The<br />
book is fresh, informative, and<br />
readable.”<br />

Taking Local<br />
Control<br />
Immigration Policy<br />
Activism in U.S.<br />
Cities and States<br />
Edited by Monica<br />
Varsanyi<br />
With the number of undocumented<br />
immigrants in<br />
the United States at an alltime<br />
high and Congressional<br />
immigration reform at<br />
a standstill, cities and states across the nation have leapt<br />
into the fray, creating a wide range of policies—some<br />
more controversial than others—to address illegal immigration<br />
within their jurisdictions. While these policies<br />
continue to receive wide coverage in the popular press,<br />
they have received very little attention in the scholarly<br />
literature. This volume aims to fill the gap by offering<br />
perspectives from political scientists, legal scholars,<br />
sociologists, and geographers at the leading edge of this<br />
emerging field. Drawing on high profile case studies, the<br />
contributors seek to explain the explosion in state and<br />
local immigration policy activism, account for the policies<br />
that have been considered and passed, and explore<br />
the tensions that have emerged within communities and<br />
between different levels of government.<br />
“This timely and significant volume provides a very<br />
strong analysis of a political debate that is relevant<br />
today and will continue to be so for the seeable future.<br />
There is a great need for it.”<br />
—Rodolfo O. de la Garza, Columbia <strong>University</strong><br />
“The breadth of approaches represented here will<br />
make this an invaluable resource for those interested<br />
in this important subject. The book will enhance our<br />
understanding of the new landscapes of immigration<br />
federalism.”<br />
