Race relations in twenty-first-century America will not be just
a black-and-white issue. The 2000 census revealed that Hispanics
already slightly outnumber African Americans as the largest ethnic
group, while together Blacks and Hispanics constitute the majority
population in the five largest U.S. cities. Given these facts,
black-brown relations could be a more significant racial issue in
the decades to come than relations between minority groups and
Whites.
Offering some of the first in-depth analyses of how African
Americans and Hispanics perceive and interact with each other, this
pathfinding study looks at black-brown relations in Houston, Texas,
one of the largest U.S. cities with a majority ethnic population
and one in which Hispanics outnumber African Americans. Drawing on
the results of several sociological studies, the authors focus on
four key issues: how each group forms and maintains stereotypes of
the other, areas in which the two groups conflict and disagree, the
crucial role of women in shaping their communities' racial
attitudes, and areas in which Hispanics and African Americans agree
and can cooperate to achieve greater political power and social
justice.
