Yet empirical investigations of this social phenomenon and its impact on labor market outcomes for Puerto Ricans remain limited. This article asserts that despite the salience of race as a powerful force shaping outcomes for Puerto Ricans in the US, colorism presents a new challenge for scholarship. The article analyzes a recent study on skin tone labor market segmentation in the US and highlights the importance of the findings related to Puerto Ricans. Three significant implications for research related to the intersections of race, socioeconomic opportunity, and Puerto Ricans are presented. The article concludes with a proposed reorientation of the general perspectives that have guided research in this area of Puerto Rican Studies. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Centro Journal is the property of Centro de Estudios Puertorriquenos (Center for Puerto Rican Studies) and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
