Dr. Cristina Beltrán (NYU), “The Right Kind of Difference: Latino Republicans and the Pleasures of Race”
Dr. Cristina Beltrán (NYU), “The Right Kind of Difference: Latino Republicans and the Pleasures of Race”Situated at the intersection of Latino politics and political theory, this talk will explore the paradoxical nature of Latino conservatism and right-wing Latinidad. Arguing that conservative thought within Latino communities is shaped not only by ideology but through a potent combination of emotion and expression, this talk shows how conservative Latino elites seek to engage Latino voters' aesthetic and affective sensibilities. Exploring how Latino political elites are currently articulating conservative theories of visibility, agency, and action, I argue that the Right's effort to aestheticize action highlights the importance of judgment when trying to understand the meaning of an enhanced Latino presence in the GOP.
