LatCrit: Where is the Afro in LatCrit?

ABSTRACT

This review is written to highlight the erasure and neglect of Blackness within the LatCrit literature. The author seeks to encourage researchers to consider this neglect and how it affects AfroLatinx college students’ sense of belonging. In addition, due to its absence in the LatCrit literature, the author concludes by introducing a novel conceptual framework currently in development by the researcher.
