Blackness in the Spanish-Speaking/Latin Caribbean.

This sociological literature review addresses research that exists regarding Blackness in the Spanish-speaking/Latin Caribbean. The research brings awareness to how Afro-Latinx communities are affected by “race,” particularly concerning the larger Latinx ethnic group. Moreover, this work illustrates the marginalization of Afro-Latinx communities both historically and presently, as well as how racism is ingrained in Latinx culture. Thus, this research concludes that historical and present occurrences of anti-Blackness pervade the culture of the Spanish-speaking/Latin Caribbean (including Haiti), isolating Afro-descendants in these countries from the rest of their populations.
