“Latinos who have not been conscious of these issues are often very resistant to hearing about them, and they look for the immediate way to be able to dismiss it”
A New York City law school professor is publishing a Spanish translation of her 2022 book that aims to bring more awareness to how Latinos can also display “anti-Blackness.”According to her university biography, Hernandez has expertise in “Antidiscrimination Law, Comparative Law, Critical Race Theory, Race and Social Justice.”
The work also “brings to light the many Afro-Latino and African American victims of anti-Blackness at the hands of other people of color.” By exposing “anti-Black bias in the workplace, the housing market, schools, places of recreation, the criminal justice system, and Latino families,” Hernandez hopes to work towards a “more egalitarian society.”discussing the new translation, Hernandez stated that “hose who love you most can at the same time harbor racist thoughts and attitudes.
In the same interview, Hernandez further talked about the idea of “linked fate,” which she mentions in her book. “And it comes to anti-Blackness, experiences of racial discrimination within your so-called ethnic group disrupts that sense of linked fate. And so, with the upcoming election, the need to galvanize the Latino vote will not be effective until we deal with our own racism.
