EXPLORING SHADEISM - ONE OF THE EARLIEST PIECES OF ACADEMIC RESEARCH ON COLORISM, NOW IN BOOK FORM! Shadeism is a direct result of slavery - and the psychological and sociological impacts are still visible in the Caribbean - and elsewhere - today. Originally a Masters research project, Exploring Shadeism describes the phenomenon of colorism, and examines it within the context of the wider Caribbean, focusing particularly on Caribbean history and literature. It also examines two theories that are useful in explaining why shade discrimination has taken root in the Caribbean. The book includes original research conducted in Barbados, and draws conclusions about the impact of this phenomenon in several areas of daily life. Praise for Exploring Shadeism
- A timely addition to the conversations surrounding inter- and intra-racial relationships.
- A fascinating glimpse into the realities of the tropical paradises many take for granted.
- Well-written; chock full of information and perspectives - an excellent resource for any social scientist.
- a nuanced exploration of colour and class in Caribbean society.
- a significant contribution not just to the analysis of the Barbadian social landscape, but to the Caribbean and global diaspora - Sandra Sealy, founder of Caribbean Writers
- a timely contribution to writing and publishing in Barbados...It is timely politically, coming as it does during the debate around race, identity and #blacklivesmatter. It is also timely as a teaching tool, as grown-ups need to find ways to understand shadeism themselves so that they might guide young people struggling with self-esteem relating to their blackness. - Linda M. Deane, co-founding editor of ArtsEtc Praise for I'm Tired of Racism, also by Sharon Hurley Hall
- This collection of on-point and poignant pieces widens our lens for viewing a world shaped by its domination and oppression of racialized people.
- The power in this book comes from Sharon's ability to articulate something many people may feel or wonder about, but perhaps have not yet gained clarity as to the underlying dynamics truly at play.
- If you're Black, you've found an advocate. If you're white, this is an educational book.
