An illuminating and thought-provoking history of the growth of Hispanic American Republican voters in the past half century and their surprising impact on US politics, updated with new material reflecting on the 2020 election

In the lead-up to every election cycle, pundits predict that Latino Americans will overwhelmingly vote in favor of the Democratic candidate. And it’s true—Latino voters do tilt Democratic. Hillary Clinton won the Latino vote in a “landslide,” Barack Obama “crushed” Mitt Romney among Latino voters in his reelection, and, four years earlier, the Democratic ticket beat the McCain-Palin ticket by a margin of more than two to one. But those numbers belie a more complicated picture. Because of decades of investment and political courtship, as well as a nuanced and varied cultural identity, the Republican party has had a much longer and stronger bond with Hispanics. How is this possible for a party so associated with draconian immigration and racial policies?

In The Hispanic Republican, historian and political commentator Geraldo Cadava illuminates the history of the millions of Hispanic Republicans who, since the 1960s, have had a significant impact on national politics. Intertwining the little understood history of Hispanic Americans with a cultural study of how post–World War II Republican politicians actively courted the Hispanic vote during the Cold War (especially Cuban émigrés) and during periods of major strife in Central America (especially during Iran-Contra), Cadava offers insight into the complicated dynamic between Latino liberalism and conservatism, which, when studied together, shine a crucial light on a rapidly changing demographic that will impact American elections for years to come.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Thoughtful, fair-minded, and learned, Cadava's eye-opening book will teach experts on American politics things they didn't even know they didn't know." - Rick Perlstein, bestselling author of Nixonland and The Invisible Bridge

“Geraldo Cadava’s history...provides a unique vantage point on US politics; on the shifting terrains of foreign policy, labor, and religion; and on the changing nature of specific states, as well as on deeper ideological fights over the soul of the country: is it to be an inclusive nation of immigrants, or, as the nativists today say, a country founded on white supremacy? An excellent, insightful study.” - Greg Grandin, professor of history at Yale University and author of The End of the Myth

“Geraldo Cadava offers a fascinating examination of the socioeconomic interests and foreign policy concerns that have drawn Hispanics/Latinos into a rapidly changing Republican Party. If readers harbor the mistaken idea that Hispanics are a monolithic voting bloc, this book should dispel this idea once and for all. Though the work is written for a general audience, even experts on Hispanic politics and voting behavior will find much that is new and surprising in these chapters.” - María Cristina García, author of The Refugee Challenge in Post–Cold War America

Originally from Tucson, Arizona, I've received degrees from Dartmouth College and Yale University. Now I teach Latino and U.S.-Mexico borderlands history at Northwestern University. My first book, Standing on Common Ground, is about the U.S.-Mexico border since World War II, and I'm beginning research projects on Latino conservatism and trade between the United States and Mexico. I have written about immigration, the border, and U.S.-Latin American relations for the Journal of American History, the New York Times, the Atlantic, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Arizona Daily Star.

    This book contains a lot of very interesting information. The writing is rather wordy and disorganized, but I have not found another resource with so much information.

    I am not sure the author quite caught the interests of the border Texas Hispanics. If you are interested in this, you might also read the recent article in the Texas Monthly.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Why some Hispanics are Republican, Historically
    Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2020
    Format: Hardcover
    ***I received an electronic galley from netgalley.com and the publisher for reviewing purposes***

    It is a commonly held belief that most of the Hispanic vote in the near future will skew Democratic due to the Republican party adopting more restrictive policies on immigration, citizenship, and other areas of concern for Hispanic voters. Geraldo Cadava offers a more nuanced view in the Hispanic Republican. Despite its title, the book reads more like a history of the evolution of the Hispanic vote from the days of the New Deal to present—particularly covering the period from Eisenhower to Trump. Beginning with Eisenhower, Hispanics became more active in politics and a core group skewed Republican due to the parties stated values of hard work, individualism, and self-reliance among others.

    Yet as this history illustrates, the Hispanic vote is not some giant monolith as illustrated by divisions between Mexicans, Cubans, and later Guatemalans, El Salvadorians, Nicaraguans, etc. Both parties have often had to compete for this diverse Hispanic vote. The Republicans from Nixon to Bush made consistent efforts by appointing Hispanics to prominent positions and taking hard lines on issues important to Hispanic voters. When Republicans didn’t (see Gerald Ford awkwardly eating a tamale for example) they paid for it.

    In the Hispanic Republican, I think the ultimate lesson is that the Hispanic vote is just as unsettled as other aspects of American politics has become in the last decade or two and should not be taken for granted by either party. I think this a book that should be read by people who want to understand how political parties respond to the concerns of voters and how this response explains voting behavior.
