Beauty Ideals and Feminist Thought
Manage episode 243299656 series 20984
In what ways do media-propagated ideals of beauty affect women and girls? Whose interests do such ideals serve? Meeta Rani Jha draws from the ideas of second- and third-wave feminism in her examination of the beauty pageant phenomenon; hair-straightening and other appearance-changing practices; and antiracist challenges to the dominant white beauty standard. Also: Angela Davis on black women and the blues.
Meeta Rani Jha, The Global Beauty Industry: Colorism, Racism, and the National Body Routledge, 2015
