Colorism is defined as "discriminatory treatment of individuals
falling within the same 'racial' group on the basis of skin color."
In other words, some people, particularly women, are treated better
or worse on account of the color of their skin relative to other
people who share their same racial category. Colorism affects Asian
Americans from many different backgrounds and who live in different
parts of the United States. Is Lighter Better? discusses this
often-overlooked topic. Joanne L. Rondilla and Paul Spickard ask
important questions such as: What are the colorism issues that
operate in Asian American communities? Are they the same issues for
all Asian Americans for women and for men, for immigrants and the
American born, for Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, and
other Asian Americans? Do they reflect a desire to look like White
people, or is some other motive at work? Including numerous stories
about and by people who have faced discrimination in their own
lives, this book is an invaluable resource for people interested in
colorism among Asian Americans."
