Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and the Struggle for Equality
Book •
Tanya K. Hernández's work examines the intersections of race, law, and immigration, focusing on how Latino identity can mask anti-Black bias and complicate claims to equality.
She analyzes legal doctrines, social narratives, and institutional practices that allow anti-Blackness to persist within and around Latino communities.
Hernández argues that narratives of racial innocence often function to obscure structural inequalities and inhibit effective coalitions for racial justice.
Her scholarship connects legal analysis with social history to reveal how racial hierarchies are reproduced through policy and cultural discourse.
The work has been influential in foregrounding intra-Latino racial dynamics in contemporary debates about race and civil rights.
