SUMMARY:Mass Historical Society: Immigration, Race and the Tea Party Movement 
DESCRIPTION:<p><span><strong>Luis Jiménez</strong>, University of Massachusetts—Boston</span> <br><span>Comment: <strong>Theda Skocpol</strong>, Harvard University</span></p><p>To what extent has racial anxiety played a factor in the formation of the tea party movement? Previous literature, ethnographic work and anecdotal evidence point to a complex mythology of taxpayers versus freeloaders that appears to not have any empirical basis, but rather rests on racial cues. This paper tests these hypotheses through a number of measures at different levels--state, congressional, and county units. It finds that tea party behavior was more pronounced in states, districts or counties with disproportionate numbers of Latinos, or people perceived as an immigrant other.</p>
