Beschreibung
Dominican Political Rising in NYC traces how a relatively recent immigrant community became a consequential force in the city’s governing coalitions. Centering New York’s post‑1965 migration, the book situates Dominican mobilization within shifting urban pluralism, party machines, and inter‑ and intra‑ethnic competition across Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. Drawing on oral histories, demographic and electoral data, and author’s candidacy during the 2021 cycle, the study follows leaders incubated in churches, CUNY campuses, trade associations, and community‑based organizations amidst anti‑immigrant politics and transnational ties.
Fernando Aquino, PhD is Senior Advisor for Communications at the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development and Assistant Adjunct Professor at Lehman College, He is a former spokesperson for the New York State Attorney General’s office for the Latino community, as well as the Democratic Conference of the State Senate.
