Synopsis

Though the notion of white supremacy that spread throughout the world with European colonization is discredited in modern society, Hall (Michigan State U.) finds that a strict sense of hierarchy by skin color has been internalized by members of the very populations that were oppressed by it for centuries, and argues that it must be ended before social justice can be achieved. He reports on color discrimination among and between African, Asia, Hispanic, and native Americans; feminists; and gays and lesbians. He also explores dark skin and the media, psychological colonization, and racism in the new millennium. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
