Same family, different colors : confronting colorism in America's diverse families / Lori L. Tharps.
Colorism and color bias-the preference for or presumed superiority of people based on the color of their skin-is a pervasive and damaging but rarely openly discussed phenomenon. In this unprecedented book, Lori L. Tharps explores the issue in African American, Latino, Asian American, and mixed-race families and communities by weaving together personal stories, history, and analysis. The result is a compelling portrait of the myriad ways skin-color politics affect family dynamics in the United States.
