      abstract = {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.
