“…One central focus of this work is how norms of beauty, are rooted in particular historical-geographies of place, and how those norms travel (Barnes, 1994;Gordon, 2013;Kempadoo, 2004;Figueroa, 2012Figueroa, , 2013Figuero & Rivers-Moore, 2013;Nasser de la Torre, 2012;Tu, 2021). For example, work on "cosmopolitan beauty" examines coloniality, whiteness, and colorism in producing and reproducing aspirational beauty ideals (Ahmed-Ghosh, 2003;Balogun, 2012;Lloréns, 2013;Nasser de la Torre, 2013;Parameswaran, 2011;Phoenix, 2014;Reddy, 2011;Saraswati, 2010;Shrestha, 2013;Tate, 2009). Scholars have powerfully linked these colonial foundations to the past and present ways that beauty is bound up powerfully with economic and social value (Balogun & Dodds, 2021;Oza, 2001;Parameswaran & Cardoza, 2009;Pierre, 2008;Thomas, 2020).…”
