Discourse, Iconicity and Resistance

Exploring the experiences of Black British women, this book delves into the complexities of Black beauty shame shaped by societal standards that prioritize white beauty. It highlights how these women navigate and disidentify from both white beauty ideals and Black Nationalist notions of beauty, particularly concerning mixed-race identities. By employing Foucaldian concepts, the work illustrates a form of resistance against the oppressive narratives surrounding beauty. This insightful analysis appeals to those studying Black identity, beauty, and discourse.
