About this listen

 a LATTO thought evaluates contemporary misperceptions about mixed raceness through the lenses of history, science studies, and personal perspectives in a way that is pro-Black, antiracist, and self-critical. The intent is to arm individuals with the clarity of how systems of law and power shape our feelings about who — not ‘what’ — we as individuals are so that we can begin to reshape the societies in which we collectively live. After all, we’re all already mixed. We’re simply taught to not see it that way.© 2022 a LATTO thought Social Sciences World

    Augustín Fuentes (Prof. of Anthropology, Princeton) "joins" us again by way of a segment from his interview captured a year ago centered on the conflation between race and DNA—for that enlightening conversation, check out the episode "kinfolk, not skinfolk." However, in this segment, Augustín helps dispel another, related half-truth: the myth that sickle cell anemia is a racial genetic trait. // Music by Makaya McCraven

  • In Our Blood: A People, Divided

    In Our Blood: A People, Divided
    Aug 28 2021

    The conclusion of a LATTO thought's first miniseries traces how Indigenous kinship has been damaged by centuries of racist and colonial American policies. Marilyn Vann (Cherokee Nation) and LeEtta Osborne-Sampson (Seminole Nation) share the painful fight that the descendents of Indigenous Freedmen have waged for civil rights within their own nations. Genocide in slow motion and the lack of one equal citizenship created a zero sum game that, left a people—a family—divided. But... that may not be the case for much longer.
