Latinos for Dinkins in 1989: The Coalition's Complicated Victory Summary Upsetting the Apple Cart looks at the history of black-Latino coalitions in New York City from 1959 to 1989. In those years, African American and Latino Progressives organized, mobilized, and transformed neighborhoods, workplaces, university campuses, and representative government in the nation's urban capital. The book makes new contributions to our understanding of protest movements and strikes in the 1960s and 1970s and reveals the little-known role of left-of-center organizations in New York City politics as well as the influence of Jesse Jackson's 1984 and 1988 presidential campaigns on Notes Includes index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject African Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Politics and government -- 20th century Hispanic Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Politics and government -- 20th century African Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Relations with Hispanic Americans SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Discrimination & Race Relations.
