Post from the Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America forum
I have already read this once and was blown away. This book is so well written, research and woven with personal stories, I needed to hear it again.
This has been incredibly eye opening. Before this book, I had my own very vague ideas as to why many Latinos and Hispanics voted the way they did in the 2024 election. Mainly proximity to whiteness, colorism, and self-hatred. Paola provides a fuller and more nuanced picture of these and other reasons.
