Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, we develop a theory of intersectional substantive representation of and by immigrant communities grounded in two concepts: representational orientation to constituents and representational activity to achieve goals. We argue that Asian American women and Latinas are more likely than Latinos and Asian American men to hold an “embedded” orientation to politics, and view community networks and ties as deeply intertwined with the way they frame their identities and goals as representatives. We test our theoretical expectations regarding formal legislative processes by analyzing bill sponsorship by Asian American and Latina/o Democrats serving in state legislatures from 2014–2017, and draw on a set of interviews with Latina/o and Asian American legislators to argue that our findings account for a wider range of experiences related to overlapping group identities than previous scholarship focused on race and gender alone.

移民、交叉性与实体代表政治

摘要在本文中，我们基于两个概念发展了移民社区的跨部门实质性代表理论：对选民的代表性取向和实现目标的代表性活动。我们认为，亚裔美国女性和拉丁裔美国人比拉丁裔和亚裔美国男性更有可能对政治持“嵌入式”取向，并认为社区网络和关系与他们作为代表的身份和目标的构建方式紧密交织在一起。我们通过分析2014-2017年在州立法机构任职的亚裔美国人和拉丁裔民主党人的法案提案，检验了我们对正式立法程序的理论预期，并利用对拉丁裔/非裔和亚裔美国立法者的一系列采访，认为我们的研究结果比以前仅关注种族和性别的研究结果解释了更广泛的与重叠群体身份相关的经历。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Women, Politics & Policy explores women and their roles in the political process as well as key policy issues that impact women''s lives. Articles cover a range of tops about political processes from voters to leaders in interest groups and political parties, and office holders in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government (including the increasingly relevant international bodies such as the European Union and World Trade Organization). They also examine the impact of public policies on women''s lives in areas such as tax and budget issues, poverty reduction and income security, education and employment, care giving, and health and human rights — including violence, safety, and reproductive rights — among many others. This multidisciplinary, international journal presents the work of social scientists — including political scientists, sociologists, economists, and public policy specialists — who study the world through a gendered lens and uncover how gender functions in the political and policy arenas. Throughout, the journal places a special emphasis on the intersection of gender, race/ethnicity, class, and other dimensions of women''s experiences.
