a proper introduction...

a LATTO thought podcast evaluates contemporary beliefs about mixed raceness through the lenses of history, policy making, and personal perceptions in a way that is pro-Black, antiracist, and self-critical. The intent is to arm listeners 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. Each episode asks a question about contemporary mixed race issues, misperceptions, and pop culture. Those questions are answered by academics, artists, and activists, whose voices are woven together with sound effects, music, and personal experiences.

takin' it back
Contrary to what a "postracial" America believed when Barack Obama was elected, mixed race people are older than the New World itself. Three origins—New Spain throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the Virginian Commonwealth in 1655, and Africa's Gold Coast at the start of the transatlantic slave trade—reveal how the concept of race was constructed in the name of empire, which birthed the very idea of "mixing" races.
