Interesting. I just finished reading Don't Play In the Sun ,I enjoyed it. Its not academic at all, but rather a perspective on her life as dark skinned female.
As a male, I am disappointment at the lack of appreciation/admiration/interest for darker females of our race. We can most definately attribute some of this madness to BET (Blacks Gone Wild) and poorly informed parents and authority figures. As the son of a dark skinned woman, my first image of beauty came from my mother...as a result (in my case) I prefer darker woman.
I guess it's just a preference with historical influences.
