Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper looks to expand our knowledge about immigrant political socialization and Latino political behavior. While many studies of Latino politics focus on issue attitudes and nationality differences to explain partisan attachments and electoral choices, we argue that local context -- in particular, the unequal distribution of social and economic resources within a given community � can be a powerful source of political socialization for Hispanic immigrants. Using data from an exit poll conducted in Miami-Dade County in 2004, we examine the voting behavior among Cubans and non-Cuban Hispanics in the presidential and Florida senate races. Our theoretical framework predicts that anti-Cuban resentments (in the form of policy attitudes and opinions about ethnic power in Miami) will be salient and consequential to non-Cuban Hispanic voting. Our findings largely confirm these expectations; non-Cuban Hispanic opinions regarding anti-Castro policies and Cuban power in Miami are significant predictors of voting behavior after controlling for traditionally powerful explanatory factors such as political party, economic optimism, opinion on the Iraq war, social issue attitudes, and socio-demographic characteristics. Our results also suggest that power relations in the local arena constitute an important agent of political socialization for new Latino immigrants, much as they were for the European immigrants at the turn of the century.
