摘要

这项研究在探索十位伦敦黑人女性的生活经历之前,简要地追溯了黑人女性在美丽和身体方面所面临的不平等的历史。这些访谈探讨了女性对三种不同美容方法的生活体验:1)美白;和/或2)把头发拉直,以符合审美理想的白色;3)身体修饰,特别是臀部增强,反映了一种日益增长的趋势,即通过庆祝(和手术增强)黑人女性曲线优美的身体来抵制标准的瘦白人理想。分析中出现了四个相互交织的主题:种族主义、身份、社会资本和自尊。

Shades of Black: Contemporary London Black women’s presentation dilemmas negotiating racist colonial legacy and Black affirmation
This study traces a brief history of the inequalities faced by Black women concerning beauty and the body, before exploring the lived experiences of ten London Black women. The interviews explored women’s lived experience of three different beauty practices: 1) skin lightening; and/or 2) hair straightening to fit with a white aesthetically pleasing ideal; and 3) body modifications, specifically buttock enhancement, reflecting a growing trend that resists the normative thin white ideal by celebrating (and surgically enhancing) the curvaceous female Black body. Four intertwined themes emerged from the analysis: racism, identity, social capital, and self-esteem.
