Background: The right to participate in political processes is fundamental to democratic governance, economic development and human rights.Objectives: We assessed participation in political processes and also explored factors associated with voting at the most recent election for people with and without disabilities.Method: We conducted cross-sectional survey in four cities in Senegal and three in Cameroon in 2021. Disability was assessed using the Washington Group Short Set of questions. Univariate and multiple regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors associated with voting at the most recent elections.Results: Among 4180 participants in Cameroon and 4171 in Senegal, disability prevalence was 9.77% and 10.89%, respectively. More than half of the participants had voted at the most recent elections in both Cameroon (52.31%) and Senegal (58.27%). Participants with an interest in politics, having all the key documents or registered with a political party were more likely to have voted in both countries. Adjusting for socio-demographic characteristics, people with disabilities were less likely to have voted compared to those without disabilities in Cameroon (odds ratio [OR] = 0.58 [0.40, 0.84]) and in Senegal (OR = 0.36 [0.26, 0.44]).Conclusion: There is an urgent need to address the socio-political and environmental factors that have been identified so as to close the disability gaps in voting and ensure equitable opportunities and levels of political participation between people with and without disabilities.Contribution: This article contributes to the existing knowledge base on the political participation of people with and without disabilities in Cameroon and Senegal.

Is authenticity key? Mobilization by social media influencers versus celebrities and young people's political participation

AbstractPopular personalities like social media influencers (SMIs) and traditional celebrities can not only be used in the context of for‐profit marketing, but also help non‐profit campaigns address young audiences. Across three experiments (NTotal = 1233), we compared the effectiveness of SMIs’ mobilizing appeals in relation to a humanitarian issue to those made by traditional celebrities. Inspired by meaning transfer theory, we expected SMIs and their endorsements to be perceived as particularly authentic, elucidating their possibly unique influence on young people's participation. In Study 1, mobilizing appeals from popular personalities generally increased participation intentions among young people, but SMIs were not more effective in this role than celebrities. Study 2 and Study 3 showed that effects of the two source types are dependent on gender. Controlling for source and endorsement authenticity, we found that SMIs were better at directly mobilizing young women for political participation than celebrities. In contrast, young men were more easily convinced by celebrities to engage in political action, due to higher authenticity attributed to celebrities’ endorsements. While SMIs were not consistently perceived as more authentic than celebrities, the success of popular personalities’ mobilizing appeals can generally be well explained by perceived source authenticity and perceived authenticity of endorsements.

La Gente: Struggles for Empowerment and Community Self-Determination in Sacramento

In this valuable study, Lorena V. Márquez tells the story of the Chicana/o movement in the Sacramento Valley from the perspective of the “foot soldiers” who participated. Using oral histories of everyday people, La Gente examines their uneven political activism during the late 1960s and 1970s in Sacramento. Márquez focuses on a series of events in the region but begins with a historical overview exploring the experiences of Sacramento's Mexican community before the 1960s. Subsequent chapters explore the desegregation of a local elementary school, the organizing of cannery works, and the creation of Deganawidah Quetzalcoatl University, known as D-QU, a Sacramento community college. Márquez defines la gente, everyday common people, as “working-class folks, males and females, U.S. born and foreign born, documented and undocumented—whose lives were governed and anchored in work and the protection of their families” (p. 4). Márquez highlights everyday people's uneven activism in the Sacramento Valley. She argues everyday people engaged with the Chicana/o movement at critical junctures in their lives and through constant negotiated acts of defiance when they, their families, and their homes were at risk and became principal advocates for their rights (p. 4). Each chapter highlights everyday common people's political activism and the particular issues and needs that drove them into political action.La Gente argues that working-class people sought self-determination on their own terms, in often contradictory ways. Chapter 2 focuses on a battle over a local elementary school that highlighted a larger issue of self-determination for ethnic Mexican residents of Sacramento. Parents wanted to decide their children's educational future and went against civil rights leaders and school board officials who wanted to integrate the schools. Parents rejected desegregation plans because they believed members of the Sacramento school board based their plans on a false premise that the “white schools” were better than their local neighborhood school, Washington Elementary. Instead, parents wondered if their school did not better serve their children and their communities. Washington Elementary doubled as a community agency that provided medical care to students, adult education courses in the evening, and a park. Parents attacked the desegregation plans as unfair to their children. White students were not being bussed and removed from their environments. Second, parents did not want to further reinscribe their children's inferiority complex. Instead, parents demanded the school board either rebuild or rehabilitate Washington Elementary, and they wanted improvements across the system-wide curriculum. The Washington Elementary incident adds a nuanced layer to the historical understanding of civil rights, school segregation, and who supported integration and why. Márquez rightly points out the topic awaits further exploration.The parents of Washington Elementary were unsuccessful in stopping desegregation. But working-class, first-generation college students achieved a more lasting, but ultimately doomed, victory. In 1970, Native American and Chicana/o college students and community members worked together to create an institution of higher learning, D-QU, that let them have self-determination over their futures. Through D-QU, Márquez explores Chicana/os claims to an Indigenous identity and cross-ethnic alliances based on a shared history of conquest and oppression. Through its discussion of D-QU, La Gente challenges the view of the Civil Rights Movement as organized around a single race or ethnic group and instead highlights how Chicana/os built solidarity with Indigenous people. La Gente weaves the narrative of D-QU with a discussion about the meaning of mestizaje, la raza cosmica, and Chicanismo to explain the roots of D-QU's eventual closing in the 2000s.One small criticism of La Gente lies in its organization. At times, La Gente is disjointed and not a cohesive narrative of the Chicana/o movement in the Sacramento region. Was there no crossover between Chicana/os in the desegregation of Washington Elementary school and the cannery workers, or the larger issues of the community? The events all happened within a relatively brief window of time, but there was little interaction between the various actors in La Gente. Perhaps that is intentional, as so much of everyday people's experiences with activism are not always cohesive and easily followed. This is a minor issue that does not detract from a marvelous study of the Chicana/o movement in Sacramento that poses questions about self-determination, activism, and everyday people's political participation. La Gente is a significant contribution to the historiography of the Chicana/o movement.
