{"product_id":"the-governmentality-of-black-beauty-shirley-anne-tate-9781137522573","title":"The Governmentality of Black Beauty Shame: Discourse, Iconicity and Resistance","description":"This book uses the experiences and conversations of Black British women as a lens to examine the impact of discourses surrounding Black beauty shame. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Anne Tate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1137522577\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137522573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave Pivot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.44d","brand":"Shirley Anne Tate","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087672750335,"sku":"9781137522573","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2400f007-757c-448d-9e8e-4257d5b75109.jpg?v=1769100761","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-governmentality-of-black-beauty-shirley-anne-tate-9781137522573","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
