Book Description
In an age of growing racial tensions, police brutality, and the "Black Lives Matter" movement, "Colorism: Investigating a Global Phenomenon" is a powerful contribution that examines the roots of colorism in modern society, not only in North America but around the world. It provides penetrating insights into the historical, social, cultural, and personal challenges of people of color-including those of either African, Latino, or Indian/Asian ancestry. While colorism has traditionally been defined in terms of prejudice or discrimination relative to skin color, this 400-page reference work argues that colorism differs from racism in that it is multifaceted: it can be observed between different social groups as well as within one's own ethnic group. As such, the main objective of this volume is to provide a comprehensive reference on the history, scope, trends, and implications of colorism. This includes topics such as the acknowledgment of the continuing role of the European aesthetic, such as hair texture and length; body image; and perceived attractiveness; a recognition that colorism not only impacts Africans in America but people of color around the world; and an understanding of colorism as a developmental phenomenon that takes root in family dynamics and spreads throughout society. In that sense, colorism is a far more complex and pervasive global phenomenon than was previously posited, not only for its toxic corollaries, but also for its impact on self-esteem and core sense of self. "Colorism" is the outflow of an ambitious, multi-year effort led by Dr. Kamilah Woodson involving a cadre of scholars from Howard University, Fielding Graduate University, Texas Southern University, Virginia Commonwealth University, Grambling State University, The University of North Texas, The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, Winston-Salem University, Morgan State University, Louisiana State University, the University of the District of Columbia, and other leading institutions.

Book Description
It is said that someone will one day uncover the Eye of Horus and harness its powers, tasked to protect it until its celestial owner claims it. For centuries, Protectors have been searching for the Eye and the one who is destined to return it, bringing peace to the world of the gods. But there have been many Protectors, and many who have found the Eye, all to be hunted down and killed before they could fulfill their purpose. When seventeen-year-old Re Fuller discovers an ancient Egyptian amulet, he unleashes a buried power within himself, inciting the help of Kamilah and her family of Protectors. Together, Kamilah and Re must return the artifact to its rightful owner before it destroys Re from the inside out. In doing so, they are thrust into the midst of a celestial war that leads down a path of danger and the discovery of Re’s true identity—an identity that many would kill for in order to keep it buried forever.
