“…Table 3a represents the 10 most frequently sampled states with Texas, California Arizona again leading the list. While Illinois is adequately represented here, due to the strong influence from Julia Albarracin’s work making up four out of the 5.25 articles in Illinois (see Albarracin et al, 2017 for an example). New York is not among the top 10 despite its large Latinx population.…”

Based on a population-representation approach using census data we explored the breadth of research in the Journal of Latinx Psychology ( N = 154) and Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences ( N = 94) with respect to distribution across states and nationality background of the Latinx’ samples. Over 90% of the empirical studies are based on Latinx samples within the US. Out of those, only 60% provided information specific enough to identify the ethnic background of the sample beyond Hispanic/Latinx or other vague descriptors (e.g., “multiethnic”). With 80% of the samples, Mexicans are overrepresented compared to the population statistics of (documented) Latinx in the US. Findings also reveal an overrepresentation of the Southwest region compared to the overall distribution of Latinx across the US. It is suggested that Latinx journals take a more active role in fostering publications of Latinx subpopulations which are often clustered in regions other than the Southwest.

“…In Mexico, female participation in demonstrations as a form of claims making is high, although only among women who are free from domestic restrictions laid down by their husbands and free from house chores (Albarracin, Munier and Bail 2017).…”

“…Mlambo, Kapingura, and Meissner's ( 2019) study of the South African Development Commission region also demonstrated the connection between women's political participation and their involvement in the labour force. In Latin America as well, participation in paid employment and control over one's income were found to have some degree of influence on Mexican women's political participation (Albarracin et al 2017).…”

Women’s Political Participation and its Predictors in Northern and Southern Nigeria

The United Nations Development Programme states that women’s political participation is a necessary ingredient for a peaceful and resilient society, yet large gender gaps obstinately persist in many countries around the globe. With a focus on Nigeria and using an analysis of data from Nigeria’s 2015 and 2019 General Elections and Afrobarometer’s 2018 Nigeria Round 7 survey, this paper explores variations of women’s political participation across Southern and Northern Nigeria. In recent times, Northern Nigeria has experienced extensive conflict, and Southern Nigeria outperforms the north in terms of women’s education, participation in paid employment and control of earnings. Given these factors, conventional wisdom among policy actors and researchers would predict that women in Southern Nigeria should have considerably higher rates of political participation than those in Northern Nigeria. However, digging deeper into the available data on political participation, the paper suggests that factors such as education and employment do not predict the dimensions of women’s political participation or can predict the unexpected. The paper concludes that policymakers may need to look beyond these conventional factors when supporting programmes on women’s political participation in Nigeria. More research is needed into contextual factors to better understand what lies behind the varying levels of women’s political participation in Northern and Southern Nigeria.

“…Diverse racial coalitions may also help increase the political participation of people of color and immigrants. Research shows that some immigrants turn toward their own ethnic group when facing discrimination or when they experience low trust toward the government (Albarracin et al 2017; Michelson 2003). A diverse coalition may placate fears that political actors would ignore the concerns of one's group.…”

Diversity, Leadership, and Authenticity in the Undocumented Youth Movement

The undocumented youth movement is diverse in terms of race, ethnicity, and immigration status. I argue that racial and immigration status diversity has a direct impact on the movement's ability to “expand the scope of conflict,” that is to say recruiting new members, reaching out to elected officials, and establishing representative leadership—elements that are critical to the sustainability and effectiveness of a movement. Findings also indicate that immigration status diversity plays a complex role. The presence of citizen allies brings both risks and benefits to the movement, as they reinforce the electoral connection sought by elected officials while at the same time jeopardizing the authenticity of the movement. Results are based on field research conducted between 2012 and 2015 in NJ and NY, including participant observation in state-level campaigns and interviews with over 130 immigrant youths, allies, and elected officials. This article contributes to the social movement literature by providing empirical evidence of the challenges present within diverse coalitions. It addresses the question of immigration status diversity, an issue that affects the immigration movement but speaks more broadly to the role of allies in social movements.
