This review addresses key issues in the study of Latino politics. Foremost among these is the question of low voter turnout. Such factors as income, education, nativity, religion, political party, organizational involvement, neighborhood composition, ethnic attachments, & mobilization of Hispanic turnout have a limited impact on Hispanic votes. I suggest that this is due to differences in the political socialization of Latinos & Anglos. The review also shows that immigrants are focused on US politics rather than home-country politics. Additionally, it describes significant differences regarding the factors that shape Hispanic vs Anglo partisanship. Among the other issues considered is the limited significance of ethnic factors, as compared to partisanship & state of residence, in determining electoral & policy preferences. 142 References.
