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. 650 0 $a Feminine beauty (Aesthetics) $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Black race $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a African American women $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Beauty, Personal $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Women, Black $x Race identity. 650 0 $a Human skin color $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Race awareness. 830 0 $a Palgrave pivot. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605014417.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5554D062C38A11E7B100357297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
