The Political Implications of Anti-Latinx Racism
From the New Books Network's Book of the Day Podcast
Although Latinos are now the largest non-majority group in the United States, existing research on white attitudes toward Latinos has focused almost exclusively on attitudes toward immigration. Ignored Racism: White Animus Toward Latinos (Cambridge University Press) changes that.
Co-authors Mark D. Ramirez and David A. M. Peterson discuss their new book and the political power of whites’ animus toward Latinos, which reaches into issues such as voting rights, criminal punishment, policing, and which candidates to support.
