Join us on Saturday, August 29th at 5 pm as we welcome author Dr. Sarah L. Webb to Kindred Thoughts for a discussion and signing of her upcoming new book, “Colorism: The Politics of Skin Tone and How We Get Free.”
About the book:
The essential primer on colorism, and how each of us has a role in dismantling skin tone bias.
Racism is easy to spot these days; we know its script, its favorite media tropes, its legislative tactics, and how it makes us feel. But there is another societal ill hiding in racism’s shadow: colorism. Colorism is a social hierarchy that favors people with lighter skin tones and stigmatizes people with darker skin tones. More than a debate on social media about who’s most attractive, colorism frays the fabric of our homes and communities and jeopardizes the lives and livelihoods of individuals most impacted. Dr. Sarah L. Webb’s Colorism arrives as a fresh perspective on how we move toward a world free from harmful stigma and discord—a more liberated, more loving world.
