A lot of #Krug convos are bringing up issues related to racial identity, racial ambiguity, & colorism and I just want to say that all of these concepts are related but also very *different*

I want to share some relevant (mainly sociological) works in this #Thread
First, Nikki Kanna& #39;s work has explored passing and reflected appraisals for mixed race folks. Here w/ Cathryn Johnson on Black mixture "Passing as Black: Racial Identity Work among Biracial Americans" https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0190272510389014">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.11... and also Asian Ams too https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/019027250406700201">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/1...
This work by Ginetta E. B. Candelario brings nuance to Caribbean Afro-Latinx identities and how even racial cues like, hair, matter for race #v=onepage&q=Ginetta%20E.%20B.%20Candelario&f=false">https://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=WKZhl3N6uiMC&oi=fnd&pg=PP11&dq=Ginetta+E.+B.+Candelario&ots=WDJ1L9k0sl&sig=ZsMd4a5_1cSIXIGYCCSZE9ihbV4 #v=onepage&q=Ginetta%20E.%20B.%20Candelario&f=false">https://books.google.com/books...
Margaret Hunter& #39;s work on colorism asserts that it is a form of oppression that harms those with darker skin tones within and across racial categories (the only impact of colorism for those with lighter skin comes to questioning of authenticity) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/j.1751-9020.2007.00006.x">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/...
And this article by Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman and @EdlinVeras is great- I have it on my syllabus for my Black Identities course this semester "Out of the Shadows, into the Dark: Ethnoracial Dissonance and Identity Formation among Afro-Latinxs" https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/2332649219829784">https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/...
