Fordham Law Professor Tanya Katerí Hernández’s 2021 video, “THE BIG IDEA: Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias,” was referenced in this Daily Kos article, in regards to the enduring legacy of slavery in Puerto Rico.
Hernández expands the discussion beyond Puerto Ricans in this short video about white supremacist Latinos, a subject I addressed here:
Professor Tanya Hernández is the Archibald R. Murray Professor of Law and an internationally recognized comparative race law expert. She focuses her scholarship on the study of comparative race relations and anti-discrimination law. Professor Hernández excavates the otherwise silenced voices of the Afro-Latino and African American victims of Latino anti-Blackness. Her work aims to aid those who care about the pursuit of racial equality, by providing a more expansive view of the greater swath of the population that is harmed by anti-Black bias. In her latest book, Racial Innocence: Unmasking Latino Anti-Black Bias and the Struggle for Equality, Professor Hernández explored these further.
