You're pretty for a darkskin": The Issue of Colourism Through the Intersectional Lens of Dark-skinned Black Women Living in England.

自从#黑人生活事件#的标签在2012年开始流行以来，种族主义和根深蒂固的不平等一直是学术、媒体和政治话语的中心。然而，在这些讨论中，黑人女性的经历被边缘化了。此外，种族压迫的一种具体形式也被忽视了--肤色。这项拟议的研究将通过一项关于英国黑人女性色彩体验的原创跨部门和代际研究来关注这些沉默，到目前为止，这一研究一直被严重不足。本研究采用比较个案研究方法，通过对居住在英国的不同年龄的黑皮肤黑人女性进行焦点小组研究，将对现存文学做出独特的贡献。因此，提供了对种族、性别和年龄的交叉性质以及色彩的连续性和演变性质的原创性见解。这项研究对于发展对色彩作为一种复杂的社会现象的理解至关重要，同时也为公共政策和主要利益攸关方(如雇主、广告和营销行业以及公共服务)提供关于色彩之谜的信息。

Since the hashtag #blacklivesmatter started trending in 2012, racism and entrenched inequality have remained at the centre of academic, media and political discourse. However, within these discussions, the experiences of Black women have been marginalised. Moreover, a specific form of racial oppression has also been overlooked - colourism. The proposed research will attend to these silences through an original intersectional and intergenerational study of Black women's experiences of colourism in England, which hitherto has been significantly under-researched. Adopting a comparative case study approach, this study will make a unique contribution to existin literature by conducting focus groups with Dark-skinned Black women of different ages, living in England. Thus, providing original insights into the intersecting nature of race, gender, and age, as well as continuities in, and the evolving nature of colourism. This study is critical in developing an understanding of colourism as a complex social phenomenon, whilst also informing public policy and key stakeholders (e.g., employers, the advertising and marketing industry, and public services) onthe enigma that is colourism.
