“Latina/o and Black Relations Under White Supremacy”
- Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 3:30pm, Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History, Hitchcock Multipurpose Room.
The subject of Latino and Black relations is growing rapidly in
significance across the country. Dr. Laura Pulido of the Department of American Studies and Ethnicity at the University of Southern California is particularly
interested in Latinas/os and African Americans' attitudes towards
each other and what it suggests about the larger racial formation.
Recent research in ethnic studies has shown that while overt forms
of racism are no longer acceptable, white supremacy is maintained
by the use of colorblind ideologies. While most scholars attribute
this to the white population, we found, based on a series of
interviews with Latinas/os and African Americans in Los Angeles,
that members of each group draw upon colorblind ideologies when
discussing each other. This suggests the power of hegemonic racial
ideology and the degree to which it shapes the consciousness of
people of color and influences their interactions with each other.
