“Layers of Blackness”(Colourism in the African Diaspora) : Book Review Marcus Garvey’s observations in 1923 are an apt description of the topic of this book. But why write a book about colourism - a term that is rarely used in public spheres and a topic that is equally rarely discussed in private circles?
