This makes the rise of Latino mayors in the past three decades a remarkable American story--one that explains ethnic succession, changing urban demography, and political contexts. The vibrant collection \u003ci\u003eLatino Mayors\u003c\/i\u003e features case studies of eleven Latino mayors in six American cities: San Antonio, Los Angeles, Denver, Hartford, Miami, and Providence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors and contributors analyze Latino mayors for their governing styles and policies. They describe how candidates shaped race, class, and economic issues--particularly in deracialized campaigns. \u003ci\u003eLatino Mayors\u003c\/i\u003e also addresses coalition politics, political incorporation, and how community groups operate, as well as the challenges these pioneers have faced in office from political tensions and governance issues that sometimes even harm Latinos. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, \u003ci\u003eLatino Mayors\u003c\/i\u003e charts the performances, successes, and failures of these elected officials to represent their constituents in a changing economic and urban environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eContributors include: Stefanie Chambers, Carlos E.
