In this groundbreaking and thought-provoking work, Shirley Anne Tate delves into the intricate interplay of race and gender, seamlessly weaving together affect theory to craft a Black decolonial feminist analysis of global anti-Blackness. By centering her exploration on the concept of skin, Tate establishes a robust foundation of historical context and theoretical frameworks to engage with more contemporary manifestations of racist constructions of Blackness and Black bodies. Through a comprehensive examination of intersectionality, including its contemporary iteration known as 'post-intersectionality,' the book further amplifies intersectionality's racialized gender critique by developing a Black decolonial feminist approach to cultural readings of Black skin consumption, racism within 'body beauty institutions' (such as modeling, advertising, and beauty pageants), as well as cultural representations. Moreover, the book delves into the enduring affects that perpetuate anti-Blackness, making it an essential resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying gender studies, sociology, and media studies.
