Product Description

Review

"At last an author who is willing to tell it like it is on the issue of colourism and the controversial subject of white supremacy." --Leo Slater, Essex Racial Equality Council


Review

"This solidly written, intellectual piece of work also addresses the issue as to why dark skinned people opt to use bleaching creams - is it to give them what they see as a sense of acceptance? Does being lighter make them feel beautiful?"

5.0 out of 5 stars Pulls no punches, 10 Dec 2008
By Janette B (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This book pulls no punches in its investigation of one of the last taboos. Its findings are informative, disturbing and compelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking read, 9 Dec 2008
By D. Bell (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A scholarly but not intimidating read from a Black British writer. Easy to read and understand and well referenced. A worthy addition to any book collection. Thanks Deborah!
