This book uses the experiences and conversations of Black British
women as a lens to examine the impact of discourses surrounding
Black beauty shame. Black beauty shame exists within racialized
societies which situate white beauty as iconic, and as a result
produce Black 'ugliness' as a counterpoint. At the same time, Black
Nationalist discourses present Black-white 'mixed race' women as
bodies out of place within the Black community. In the examples
analysed within the book, women disidentify from both the
iconicities of white beauty and the discourses of Black Nationalist
darker-skinned beauty, negating both ideals. This demonstration of
Foucaldian counter-conduct can be read as a form of disalienation
from the governmentality of Black beauty shame. This fascinating
volume will be of interest to students and scholars of Black
identity, Black beauty and discourse analysis.
