The authors of this paper argue that these and other predictions are problematic insofar as they do not account for the volatile nature of Latino racial and ethnic identifications. In this light, the authors propose a theoretical framework that can be used to predict Latinos\u2019 and Latinas\u2019 racial choices. This framework is tested using two distinct datasets \u2013 the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.icpsr.umich.edu\/icpsrweb\/DSDR\/studies\/6841\" target=\"_blank\">1989 Latino National Political Survey<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pewhispanic.org\/2002\/12\/17\/2002-national-survey-of-latinos\/\" target=\"_blank\">2002 National Survey of Latinos<\/a>. The results from the analyses of both of these surveys lend credence to the authors\u2019 claims that Latinas\u2019 and Latinos\u2019 skin colour and experiences of discrimination affect whether people from Latin America and their descendants who live in the US will choose to identify racially as black, white or Latina\/o.<\/p>\n<p>Read or purchase the article <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1080\/01419870701568858\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Latino racial choices: the effects of skin colour and discrimination on Latinos\u2019 and Latinas\u2019 racial self-identifications Ethnic and Racial Studies Volume 31, Issue 5, 2008 pages 899-934 DOI: 10.1080\/01419870701568858 Tanya Golash-Boza, Associate Professor of Sociology University of California, Merced William Darity, Jr., Arts &amp; Sciences Professor of Public Policy, African and African American Studies, and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,33,14646,8,394,20],"tags":[461,8656,7067,7066,7068,7065],"class_list":["post-31237","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-census","category-latino","category-media-archive","category-socialscience","category-usa","tag-ethnic-and-racial-studies","tag-tanya-golash-boza","tag-william-a-darity","tag-william-a-darity-jr","tag-william-darity","tag-william-darity-jr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31237","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31237"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31237\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45607,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31237\/revisions\/45607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31237"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31237"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31237"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
