Summary
At election time, TV is full of references by talking heads to "the Latino vote." Actually, there are many votes, as Latinos comprise a large and growing group whose impact is significant, and perhaps will soon be decisive. Jorge Ramos presents an in-depth analysis of the Latino participation in politics at all levels. What key issues are of importance to Latino voters? Who are they? Where are they? What is the nature of their participation in the political process? Where are their alliances? How are the political parties acknowledging this new bloc of voters? Do Latino voters comprise a unified or diverse group? And what are the prospects for the future? Ramos credits Latino voters with electing George W. Bush, and he implies that the party that grasps their importance will succeed, and the one that does not will fail.

Bush's Brain
by James C. Moore
The most powerful individual in the United States may not be George W. Bush. It is probably Karl Rove, the President’s brilliant advisor. Who is this man and how did he acquire so much power? Having watched in awe for over fifteen years as they reported on the rise of Karl Rove, Moore and Slater expose the brutal and sometimes morally questionable, but invariably effective ways in which Karl Rove--and America’s political system--actually operate.

Political Fictions
by Joan Didion
In 1988, Joan Didion began looking at the American political process for The New York Review of Books . What she found was not a mechanism that offered the nation’s citizens a voice in its affairs but one designed by—and for—“that handful of insiders who invent, year in and year out, the narrative of public life.” The eight pieces collected here from The New York Review build, one on the other, to a stunning whole, a portrait of the American political landscape that tells us, devastatingly, how we got where we are today. In Political Fictions , tracing the dreamwork that was already clear at the time of the first Bush ascendance in 1988, Didion covers the ways in which the continuing and polarizing nostalgia for an imagined America led to the entrenchment of a small percentage of the electorate as the nation’s deciding political force, the ways in which the two major political parties have worked to narrow the electorate to this manageable element, the readiness with which the media collaborated in this process, and, finally and at length, how this mindset led inexorably over the past dozen years to the crisis that was the 2000 election. In this book Didion cuts to the core of the deceptions and deflections to explain and illuminate what came to be called “the disconnect”—and to reveal a political class increasingly intolerant of the nation that sustains it. Joan Didion’s profound understanding of America’s political and cultural terrain, her sense of historical irony, and the play of her imagination make Political Fictions a disturbing and brilliant tour de force.
