我们研究了一个庞大的，跨学科的，越来越全球化的文献，关于肤色和肤色主义，这是关系到世界各地的地位。绝大多数研究都调查了西方社会，在那里，肤色和肤色歧视与种族和种族主义密切相关。在拉丁美洲，这两套概念特别重叠。在世界其他地区，特别是在亚洲，肤色和肤色歧视也很重要，但与相对较新的种族和种族主义概念分开发展。然而，近年来，色彩意识和白色至上似乎越来越团结，全球化和商品化，全球数十亿美元的皮肤美白行业就是例证。最后，我们记录了越来越多的方法注意到皮肤颜色的测量和社会科学数据，将皮肤颜色的措施。
We examine a vast, interdisciplinary, and increasingly global literature concerning skin color and colorism, which are related to status throughout the world. The vast majority of research has investigated Western societies, where color and colorism have been closely related to race and racism. In Latin America, the two sets of concepts have particularly overlapped. In the rest of the world, particularly in Asia, color and colorism have also been important but have evolved separately from the relatively new concepts of race and racism. In recent years, however, color consciousness and white supremacy appear to have been increasingly united, globalized, and commodified, as exemplified by the global multibillion-dollar skin-lightening industry. Finally, we document the growing methodological attention to measurements of skin color and social science data that incorporate skin color measures.
