The perception paradox
Introduction An extensive body of literature has established that perceived discrimination is linked to adverse health outcomes. In Latin America, a region deemed a pigmentocracy due to its pronounced skin color–based stratification, research on the relationship between color discrimination and health remains limited and mixed. This ambiguity may reflect a perception paradox in the context of national ideologies of mestizaje (race-mixture) and ra…
Empty chairs at the dinner table
As a result of Black-White inequities in life expectancy, recent research has indicated that Black individuals are disproportionately exposed to the deaths of multiple family members compared to White individuals. Black individuals are also more likely to live in coresident households-that is, households that extend beyond the nuclear family. However, it is unclear the degree to which this population may be disproportionately exposed to the loss …
Perceived healthcare discrimination and well-being among older adults in the United States and Brazil
Despite well-documented evidence illustrating the relationship between discrimination and health, less is known about the influence of unfair treatment when receiving medical care. Moreover, our current knowledge of cross-national and racial variations in healthcare discrimination is limited in aging populations. This article addresses these gaps using two harmonized data sets of aging populations to clarify the relationship between healthcare di…
Colorism and classism confounded
Despite competing narratives of mestizaje (race-mixing) emphasizing class discrimination and social movements highlighting the existence of racial discrimination in Latin America, little work has examined the overlap of class and color in people's understandings of discrimination. This study moves beyond the color/class binary by examining perceptions of only class, only color, and both class and color discrimination (dual discrimination). I also…
Skin Color and Colorism
We examine a vast, interdisciplinary, and increasingly global literature concerning skin color and colorism, which are related to status throughout the world. The vast majority of research has investigated Western societies, where color and colorism have been closely related to race and racism. In Latin America, the two sets of concepts have particularly overlapped. In the rest of the world, particularly in Asia, color and colorism have also been…
