Immigrants and Electoral Politics
Nonprofit Organizing in a Time of Demographic Change
Summary
Why do nonprofits representing immigrants participate (or choose not to participate) in electoral politics, and what forms does their participation take? In his new book, Immigrants and Electoral Politics: Nonprofit Organizing in a Time of Demographic Change (Cornell University Press, 2016), Heath Brown (Assistant Professor of Public Policy, John Jay College and The Graduate Center, CUNY) analyzes the contexts shaping the political behaviors of immigrant-serving nonprofit organizations, and the activities of these nonprofits in response to these conditions. In doing so, the book examines the complex relationship between immigrants, nonprofits, and electoral politics in the United States. This conversation between Brown and the US Federal Government and Politics class at Beloit College explores the political situation for immigrants in the US, the role of immigrant-serving nonprofits in immigrant politics, and the future of immigrant politics under a Trump administration.
