Inocencia Racial Synopsis

"Profound and revelatory, Racial Innocence tackles head-on the insidious grip of white supremacy on our communities and how we all might free ourselves from its predation. Tanya Katerì Hernández is fearless and brilliant. ...What fire!" -Junot Dìaz Ahora disponible en español, el primer libro exhaustivo sobre la antinegritud en la comunidad latina que desenmascara la idea equivocada de que los latinos están "exentos" de racismo debido a su origen étnico y multicultural Now available in Spanish, the first comprehensive book about anti-Black bias in the Latino community that unpacks the misconception that Latinos are "exempt" from racism due to their ethnicity and multicultural background Inocencia racial sacando a la luz las voces silenciadas de las vìctimas afrolatinas y afroamericanas de la antinegritud de los latinos. Mediante estudios de caso jurìdicos que prueban el discrimen, Hernández, profesora afrolatina de Derecho experta en 'CRT' la teorìa crìtica de la raza, desmiente la alegación de que la cultura de los latinos, por ser mestiza, los escuda del prejuicio. Con ejemplos diversos que nunca llegan a los titulares e incluyen los contextos del trabajo, el mercado de vivienda, las escuelas, los lugares de recreación y la justicia criminal, Hernández prueba la existencia del racismo latino. Inocencia racial demuestra que el racismo en Estados Unidos es complejo y multifacético, y que es posible que un grupo históricamente marginado -que ahora constituye el segundo grupo racial/étnico más grande de los Estados Unidos- sea vìctima de discrimen y a la vez discrimine. Este análisis pionero, valiente y urgente de la antinegritud latina y cómo enfrentarla correctamente impugnará y transformará nuestras discusiones acerca de la raza. Racial Innocence excavates the otherwise silenced voices of the Afro-Latino and African American victims of Latino anti-Blackness. Hernández, an Afro-Latina law professor and expert in critical race theory, exposes the claim that Latinos' racially mixed culture shields them from bias by showing how legal case studies prove discrimination. Through varied examples from around the country, including the workplace, the housing market, schools, places of recreation, and criminal justice contexts that never make the headlines, Hernández proves the existence of Latino racism. Racial Innocence demonstrates that US racism is complex and multifaceted, and that it's possible for a historically marginalized group-now the second-largest racial/ethnic group in the United States-to experience discrimination while simultaneously being discriminatory. Bold and urgent, this trailblazing analysis of Latino anti-Blackness, and how to properly address it, will challenge and transform our conversations about race.
