“Combining New Mexico’s Hispanic population with its Native American community makes New Mexico one of the few minority-majority states in the country, ” write Gabriel R. Sánchez and Shannon Sánchez-Youngman in this E-short edition from New Mexico 2050. Here, Sánchez, a nationally recognized political scientist, and Sánchez-Youngman, a political science doctoral student, explore New Mexico’s unique demography and its impact on politics in the state. This selection is enhanced by an accompanying essay by attorney and activist Pamelya Herndon on African Americans and other minorities in New Mexico.
