Using Bronfenbrenner’s Social Ecological Model, this systematic critical literature review investigated factors that contributed to the development of colorism, as well as the effects of colorism on Afro-Latinx persons, in Brazil, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, and the wider Latin American region. Agencies within the macrosystem and chronosystem were used to investigate factors involved in instituting colorism in Latin America. Constituents of the microsystem and mesosystem were used to research the effects of colorism on Afro-Latinx persons. The development of colorism ideologies and practices in Latin America was largely due to the endorsement of laws, cultural values, and cultural beliefs that arose from the perceptions and interactions between the region’s main ethnic groups and the biases that emerged from these interactions during key eras throughout their history. It was found that several studies documented the de facto impact of colorism on the family, school, community, and professional lives of Afro-Latinx persons.

使用 Bronfenbrenner 的社会生态模型，这篇系统的批判性文献综述调查了在巴西、墨西哥和波多黎各以及更广泛的拉丁美洲地区促成色彩主义发展的因素，以及色彩主义对非裔拉丁裔人的影响。宏观系统和时间系统内的机构被用来调查在拉丁美洲建立色彩主义所涉及的因素。微系统和中系统的成分被用来研究色彩对非裔拉丁人的影响。拉丁美洲色彩主义意识形态和实践的发展主要是由于法律、文化价值观、源自该地区主要民族之间的看法和互动以及在其历史上的关键时期从这些互动中出现的偏见所产生的文化信仰。发现有几项研究记录了肤色对非裔拉丁裔人的家庭、学校、社区和职业生活的实际影响。
