The first comprehensive book about anti-Black bias in the Latino community that unpacks the misconception that Latinos are \u201cexempt\u201d from racism due to their ethnicity and multicultural background.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Racial Innocence<\/em> will challenge what you thought about racism and bias, and demonstrate that it\u2019s possible for a historically marginalized group to experience discrimination and also be discriminatory. Racism is deeply complex, and law professor and comparative race relations expert Tanya Kater\u00ed Hern\u00e1ndez exposes \u201cthe Latino racial innocence cloak\u201d that often veils Latino complicity in racism. As Latinos are the second largest ethnic group in the US<\/a>, this revelation is critical to dismantling systemic racism. Based on interviews, discrimination case files, and civil rights law, Hern\u00e1ndez reveals Latino anti-Black bias in the workplace, the housing market, schools, places of recreation, criminal justice, and in Latino families.<\/p>\n

By focusing on racism perpetrated by communities outside those of White non-Latino people, Racial Innocence<\/em> brings to light the many Afro-Latino and African American victims of anti-Blackness at the hands of other people of color. Through exploring the interwoven fabric of discrimination and examining the cause of these issues, we can begin to move toward a more egalitarian society.<\/p>\n
