Editors:
- Color Struck focuses specifically on the ways skin tone has historically played a significant role in determining the life chances of African Americans and other people of color and the role skin tone plays in contemporary times.
- Color Struck is unique in that the book simultaneously addresses issues such as the relationship between skin tone and wealth inequality, anti-black sentiment and whiteness, Twitter culture, marriage outcomes and attitudes, gender, racial identity, civic engagement and politics at Predominately White Institutions from an interdisciplinary perspective.
- Color Struck satisfies readers’ quest for greater insight into the complexities and controversies surrounding race, multiracialism, gender, identity, politics, civic engagement, religion, and color in an era that purports that such things no longer matter.
