Written by some of the nation&#8217;s leading thinkers on race and colorism, these essays ask whether skin tone differentiation is imposed upon communities of color from the outside or is an internally-driven process aided and abetted by community members themselves. They also question whether the stratification process is the same for African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. <em>Skin Deep<\/em> addresses such issues as the relationship between skin tone and self esteem, marital patterns, interracial relationships, socioeconomic attainment, and family racial identity and composition. <strong>The essays also grapple with emerging issues such as biracialism, color-blind racism, and 21st century notions of race.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skin Deep: How Race and Complexion Matter in the &#8220;Color-Blind&#8221; Era Univerisity of Illinois Press October 2003 256 pages Dimensions: 6 x 9 in.\u00a0 Illustrations: 11 Line Drawings, 11 Tables Paper ISBN: 978-1-929011-26-1 Edited by: Cedric Herring, Professor of Sociology Univeristy of Illinois, Chicago Verna M.
