Living color : the biological and social meaning of skin color / by Jablonski, Nina G.;
Biology: Skin's natural palette ; Original skin ; Out of the tropics ; Skin color in the modern world ; Shades of sex ; Skin color and health. -- Society: The discriminating primate ; Encounters with difference ; Skin color in the age of exploration ; Skin color and the establishment of races ; Institutional slavery and the politics of pigmentation ; Skin colors and their variable meanings ; Aspiring to lightness ; Desiring darkness ; Living in color.Includes bibliographical references and index.This book investigates the social history of skin color from prehistory to the present, showing how our body's most visible trait influences our social interactions in profound and complex ways. The author begins with the biology and evolution of skin pigmentation, explaining how skin color changed as humans moved around the globe. She explores the relationship between melanin pigment and sunlight, and examines the consequences of rapid migrations, vacations, and other lifestyle choices that can create mismatches between our skin color and our environment. Aided by plentiful illustrations, this book also 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 as justification for the transatlantic slave trade. Offering examples of how attitudes about skin color differ in the U.S., Brazil, India, and South Africa, the author suggests that a knowledge of the evolution and social importance of skin color can help eliminate color-based discrimination and racism.

How to be an Antiracist / [electronic resource]. by Kendi, Ibram X.; Kendi, Ibram X..;
Narrator: Ibram X. Kendi.Antiracism is a transformative concept that reorients and reenergizes the conversation about racism—and, even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. At its core, racism is a powerful system that creates false hierarchies of human value; its warped logic extends beyond race, from the way we regard people of different ethnicities or skin colors to the way we treat people of different sexes, gender identities, and body types. Racism intersects with class and culture and geography and even changes the way we see and value ourselves. In How to Be an Antiracist , Kendi takes readers through a widening circle of antiracist ideas—from the most basic concepts to visionary possibilities—that will help readers see all forms of racism clearly, understand their poisonous consequences, and work to oppose them in our systems and in ourselves. Kendi weaves an electrifying combination of ethics, history, law, and science with his own personal story of awakening to antiracism. This is an essential work for anyone who wants to go beyond the awareness of racism to the next step: contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society.Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 301856 KB).

In your face : the new science of human attraction / by Perrett, David,1954-;
Includes bibliographical references ( p. 235-280) and index."What makes a face attractive? Why are we attracted to certain faces and not others? In this fascinating and exuberant account from the frontiers of science, David Perrett, a winner of the prestigious Golden Brain award and one of the world's foremost experts in face perception, and Louise Barrett, an evolutionary psychologist, tell the amazing story of where the human face came from, and how our perceptions of the face affect the way we judge an individual's personality, health, trustworthiness, and suitability as a friend or lover. Revealing some truly eye-opening new findings that will change the way you see your own face and those of everyone around you, the authors explore provocative questions and sometimes unsettling facts: How much does facial symmetry really matter? Why do masculine-looking babies commonly grow up to behave like "masculine" adults? Why do so many people at age 50 really have the face they deserve? Why doesn't plastic surgery actually erase the years? What are the skin colors that are most attractive? (The answers are not what you might think.) How likely is it that you have friends that you consider ugly? Far from offering a license to be lookist, Barrett and Perrett offer proof that inner beauty is often what really matters in the mating game and in wider life. And studies prove it makes you better looking, too"--Fish face : A brief tour of the face and its origins -- Seeing faces : How we recognize faces and why we like them -- A baby's bias : Born to be fascinated by faces -- Beauty in balance : the proportions that really are universally attractive -- His and hers : How sex hormones influence our looks and our attraction to others -- The point of beauty : The face you get and the face you leave -- Fit face : How our health is reflected in our faces -- Wither the face : On the cuteness of babies and the effects of time -- Faces with attitude : How the personality we seek in a partner guides our face tastes -- All in the family : How parents and peers shape our attraction to faces -- Love potions : Transforming attraction to love.
