Afro-Latinos/as have historically faced underrepresentation in political offices in the District of Columbia. Isreal G. Mallard's research explores the social and racial factors that shape the political attitudes of Afro-Latino/a voters, the Latino voting community, and political representatives. He examines the impact of ethnicity and "pigmentocracy" (skin color) on the election of Afro-Latinos/as to political office in Washington, D.C. Additionally, he offers solutions to address the social and racial factors that influence the electability of light-skin and dark-skin self-identified Afro-Latinos/as running for political office in Washington, D.C. The author employs a qualitative methodological approach, including interview participants, to provide insights into this study.
