RECENT (past) EVENTS
 
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. Presented by the College of Arts and Sciences, UNC. (Posted 2/2/2008)
