In this unprecedented book, Lori L.

From a Latina woman who was told she couldnt be in her best friends wedding photos because her dark skin would spoil the pictures, to a lightskinned African American man who spent his entire childhood trying to be Black, Tharps illuminates the complex and multifaceted ways that colorism affects our selfesteem and shapes our lives and relationships. Along with intimate and revealing stories, Tharps adds a historical overview and a contemporary cultural critique to contextualize how various communities and individuals navigate skincolor politics.Groundbreaking and urgent, Same Family, Different Colors is a solutionseeking journey to the heart of identity politics, so that this more subtle cousin to racism, in the authors words, will be exposed and confronted.
