Abstract

This article engages enduring problematics such as the historical roots of colorism and the role of light-skinned people of color in sustaining colorism. Understanding power dynamics and their role in colorism within and across racial groups is a central piece of this article, followed by an analysis of the evolving role of intersectionality in the field. New scholars have taken the field of colorism in promising new directions, exemplified in several articles in this volume, including colorism and mental health, the politics of color measurement, colorism and the one-drop rule, and the experiences of youth and colorism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
