Perceptions of Discrimination in Latin AmericaTUE | 26 MAR 2019 3 PM 238 HRCB

How is the problem of discrimination understood in Latin American soci-eties? And what does it mean when

a person says they have experienced discrimination? This presentation

explores the phenomenon of discrimination—particularly ethnic and racial discrimination—in Latin America, and how individuals per-

ceive unfair treatment, and why they might attribute that treatment to eth-

nic or racial discrimination.

Barry Levitt is an associate profes-sor of political science and international relations at Florida International Univer-sity. Levitt has published a book and a number of articles and is currently work-ing on a book project entitled “Confian-za” Political Institutions and Public Trust in Latin America.
