On average, African Americans with darker skin earn lower wages, suffer worse health outcomes, and endure more negative criminal justice experiences than lighter-skinned African Americans. Nicole D. Yadon conceptualizes skin tone as one facet of the multidimensional construct of race that powerfully influences racialized experiences which, in turn, can influence political identities and attitudes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing on evidence from one hundred in-depth interviews, multiple surveys, and a survey experiment, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Skin Tone \u003c\/i\u003einvestigates the political associations of skin tone. Yadon finds that skin tone correlates with political attitudes, particularly on issues where color-based disparities are especially pronounced such as criminal justice. Moreover, a sizable number of African Americans adopt a skin tone-based identity. In an era of shifting racial boundaries and growing color-based discrimination, \u003ci\u003eThe Politics of Skin Tone\u003c\/i\u003e examines the implications for both scholars and policymakers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicole D.
