Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America is a 2024 work of political journalism by Paola Ramos that examines an often overlooked shift in American politics: the growing visibility of some Latino voters and activists on the far right. Rather than treating Latinos as a single political bloc, the book argues that identity, history, religion, race, and personal trauma can pull different communities in sharply different directions. Ramos reports from across the United States, speaking with conservative Latino candidates, activists, pastors, and participants in extremist politics to understand why some embrace anti-immigrant, nationalist, or authoritarian ideas. The book is both a portrait of a political trend and an attempt to explain the deeper cultural and historical forces behind it. Its purpose is not to celebrate this movement, but to show how it developed, why it resonates with some people, and what it may mean for the future of U.S. democracy and Latino political power.
