Book Review: Paola Ramos, Defector: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What it Means for America.
Abstract
Demographers are aware of the changing tide in the United States population. For years, when referring to Latinos, there’s been talk of the sleeping giant (see, for example, Saenz and Morales, 2015). Within an eye's focus of a “progressive” vision for the future, there was an assumption that Latinos would vote along Democratic Party ideological lines in the 2024 presidential election. Population models indicated that Latinos would play a very critical role in determining who would occupy the White House for the next four years.
