Previous work discussing Black beauty has tended to concentrate on
Black women's search for white beauty as a consequence of
racialization. Without denying either the continuation of such
aesthetics or their enduring power, this book uncovers the cracks
in this hegemonic Black beauty. Drawing on detailed ethnographic
research amongst British women of Caribbean heritage, this volume
pursues a broad discussion of beauty within the Black diaspora
contexts of the Caribbean, the UK, the United States and Latin
America through different historical periods to the present day.
With a unique exploration of beauty, race and identity politics,
the author reveals how Black women themselves speak about,
negotiate, inhabit, work on and perform Black beauty. As such, it
will appeal not only to sociologists, but anyone working in the
fields of race, ethnicity and post-colonial thought, feminism and
the sociology of the body.
