Opis

This book goes beyond low self-esteem and self-hatred as explanations for black people's skin bleaching, lightening and toning and focuses on the continuing colourism in 'post-race' aesthetics in the twenty-first century, exploring racialized gender political and libidinal economies in the Black Atlantic.
