Abstract
Research on political behavior has generally ignored nonelectoralforms ofparticipation and has given scant attention to ethnic minorities. Part of the reason for these gaps in the literature has to do with the paucity of data. Taking advantage of the availability of data from the Latino National Political Survey, this work looks at whether nonelectoral participation by Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans can be explained on the basis of culture, socioeconomic status, mobilization, or some combination of the three. Although mobilization appears to offer the strongest explanation, variables representing all three approaches have some utility. Furthermore, it appears that the factors affecting Cuban nonelectoral participation are notably different than for other Latinos.
