| Abstract | "The authors explore the meaning of skin color in contemporary American society, with an eye toward the ways in which skin color is intertwined with political views. They study the construction of racialized identities and its relationship to social and economic disparities in the United States. The book includes both human- and machine-assessed measures of skin color in a survey that considers political attitudes"-- Provided by publisher. |
