Puerto Rican Identity, Political Development, and Democracy in New York, 1960–1990
Author: José E. Cruz
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498549640
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Using Puerto Rican politics in New York City as a case study, particularly focusing on political elites, Puerto Rican Identity, Political Development, and Democracy in New York, 1960–1990 argues that ethnic identity is a positive force in political development. José E. Cruz suggests that in using ethnic identity to claim and exercise social and civil rights, to pursue representation, and to access resources and benefits, Puerto Ricans sustained and enriched liberal democracy in New York City. This book shows how in carrying out politics in this way, Puerto Rican political elites placed themselves out of the margins and into the mainstream of city politics as significant contributors to urban democracy.

Charter Revision in the Empire State
Author: Henrik N. Dullea
Publisher: Rockefeller Institute Press
ISBN: 1438436378
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
Few citizens know much about the constitution of their state. Some don't even know there is one. Yet state constitutions are basic instruments of our democracy. They structure state and local government and stipulate the rights of citizenship. In New York State, as in others, the Constitution mandates a periodic vote on whether the state Constitution should be revised. In New York, a mandatory ballot question is put before the voters every twenty years — "Shall there be a convention to revise the constitution and amend the same?" Seven months prior to the next such vote — which will be held on Election Day, November 4, 1997 — the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government is publishing companion books on the New York State Constitution — one a sourcebook on constitutional change in New York, the other a rich history of the last constitutional convention held in New York State, that in 1967.

Historical Perspectives on Puerto Rican Survival in the U.S.
Author: Clara E. Rodriguez
Publisher: VNR AG
ISBN: 9781558761179
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The book continues to resonate with readers in part because it mirrors the experiences of other groups, both past and more recent immigrant groups; and in part because, when the authors wrote their essays, they spoke honestly about issues they cared about but others tended to ignore. As the editors' new introductions to each article indicate, the anthology has also served as a spring from which other works have developed.
