Blacks and Latinos appear to be natural political §allies. Their position as the two largest minority §groups in the United States has merited a great deal §of speculation as to their coalition prospects. In §terms of just sheer numbers, the aggregate §power the two groups could exercise has the §potential to offer the political, social, and §economic benefits both groups seek. Nevertheless, §the reality of the political world has shown us that §collaboration between the two groups is not §inevitable. §§This book addresses two main questions: First, why §has coalition formation among these two groups §remained largely absent? And second, to what extent §have negative attitudes and perceptions hindered §coalition prospects?§§The author argues that there are three central, but §not §necessarily exhaustive, dimensions to Black/Latino §coalition formation: (1) common political and social §interests (2) shared perceptions of minority group §status and beliefs about the sources of racial §inequality and (3) minimal perceptions of group §threat and overall favorable perceptions of each §other.
