Abstract

Only recently have social scientists begun to observe and capture the experiences of the multiracial population, focusing primarily on those with a majority-minority identity (white-Black, white-Asian, and white-Latino). Through a content analysis of 10 interviews, this study seeks to diversify the growing body of research by examining the extent to which Afro-Latinos, a dual-minority group, experience a sense of linked fate with their Black and Latino monoracial counterparts. I find that Afro-Latinos feel a strong sense of linked fate with Blacks but have a mixed sense of linked fate with Latinos. I rely upon racial threat theory and social dominance theory to account for the incongruence between the two. Research suggests that linked fate has substantial implications on a group’s political attitudes; this study looks at the impact of Afro-Latino linked fate on Afro-Latino political attitudes (Dawson, 1994).
