Klappentext zu „Living Color “
Living Color is the first book to investigate the social history of skin color from prehistory to the present, showing how our bodys most visible trait influences our social interactions in profound and complex ways. In a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion, Nina G. Jablonski begins with the biology and evolution of skin pigmentation, explaining how skin color changed as humans moved around the globe. This book explains why skin color has come to be a biological trait with great social meaning - a product of evolution perceived by culture. It considers how we form impressions of others, how we create and use stereotypes, how negative stereotypes about dark skin developed and have played out through history - including being a basis for the transatlantic slave trade.
