Heartfelt personal accounts from Asian American women on their experiences with skin color bias, from being labeled “too dark” to becoming empowered to challenge beauty standards “I have a vivid memory of standing in my grandmother’s kitchen, where, by the table, she closely watched me as I played. When I finally looked up to ask why she was staring, her expression changed from that of intent observer to one of guilt and shame. . . . ‘My anak (dear child),’ she began, ‘you are so beautiful. It is a shame that you are so dark. No Filipino man will ever want to marry you.’”—“Shade of Brown,” Noelle Marie Falcis How does skin color impact the lives of Asian American women? In Whiter, thirty Asian American women provide first-hand accounts of their experiences with colorism in this collection of powerful, accessible, and brutally honest essays, edited by Nikki Khanna. Featuring contributors of many ages, nationalities, and professions, this compelling collection covers a wide range of topics, including light-skin privilege, aspirational whiteness, and anti-blackness. From skin-whitening creams to cosmetic surgery, Whiter amplifies the diverse voices of Asian American women who continue to bravely challenge the power of skin color in their own lives.

Asians comprise a diverse group of people from South Asia, which includes Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka, South-east Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines), and North Asia (Japan, Korea and China). In these regions, the Fitzpatrick skin types III, IV, and V predominate. Similar dermatoses involving the Asian skin often take on a slightly different clinical appearance from those affecting the Caucasian skin which is predominantly Fitzpatrick skin types I and II. This is mainly due to the inherent differences in melanin content and its distribution in the different races. The different pigmentary response following skin inflammation and injury also contributes to the variation in the clinical picture of dermatoses encountered in Asians. In addition, inherent genetic differences and unique cultural practices may also result in a different spectrum of skin conditions seen in Asians. This comprehensive atlas of dermatology contains more than 1000 high-quality clinical photographs on dermatoses affecting the Asian skin. Conditions unique to Asians such as naevus of Ota, Hori’s naevus, Ofulgi’s disease, progressive macular confluent hypomelanosis and reticulate acropigmentation of Kitamura as well as conditions with a geographical Asia bias such as chronic arsenic poisoning and cutaneous meloidosis are well illustrated in this atlas. This compilation will undoubtedly serve as a valuable reference atlas and an essential companion to the dermatology textbook to all dermatologists managing patients of Asian descent.

Colorism is defined as "discriminatory treatment of individuals falling within the same 'racial' group on the basis of skin color." In other words, some people, particularly women, are treated better or worse on account of the color of their skin relative to other people who share their same racial category. Colorism affects Asian Americans from many different backgrounds and who live in different parts of the United States. Is Lighter Better? discusses this often-overlooked topic. Joanne L. Rondilla and Paul Spickard ask important questions such as: What are the colorism issues that operate in Asian American communities? Are they the same issues for all Asian Americans—for women and for men, for immigrants and the American born, for Chinese, Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, and other Asian Americans? Do they reflect a desire to look like White people, or is some other motive at work? Including numerous stories about and by people who have faced discrimination in their own lives, this book is an invaluable resource for people interested in colorism among Asian Americans.

How did she turn a side hustle into a game-changing business, and at the same time, achieve happiness and fulfillment in her life? For Charlotte, it all came down to one thing-jeong. One of the most important Korean cultural values, jeong is a feeling of loyalty and of strong emotional connection to people and places. It goes deeper than love and friendship and grows stronger with time. In South Korea, jeong is critical for success in every facet of daily life, from cultivating hobbies to developing careers and relationships. In The Little Book of Jeong, Charlotte shares how jeong changed her own trajectory in life, landing her a job opportunity in Seoul and giving her the fuel she and her husband Dave needed to launch a ground-breaking digital skin care platform and skin care line. A personal story that centers around the deep bond she built with Korea, Charlotte reveals how jeong can radically change our relationships with our loved ones, our work, and the world around us, and challenges us to cultivate jeong in our own lives.

Written for dermatologists and pediatric dermatologists, this text includes data on African American, Asian (Southeast and East), Hispanic/Latino, and Middle Eastern patients, as well as Indigenous populations (i.e. Native Americans, Aborigines).
