This discussion delves into the powerful role of skin color in visual politics, tracing its complex history and contemporary impact. The sources reveal how colonial powers used visual classification, particularly through early photography and racial science, to establish and reinforce a continuum of white dominance and racial subordination. This historical project of visually ranking people based on appearance, creating what one source calls a "shattered archive," continues to shape how we perceive race today, influencing everything from modern advertising, which often commodifies diverse identities without dismantling hierarchies, to the lived experiences of colorism, where individuals with darker skin face prejudice both within and between racialized groups, highlighting a direct link between historical visual practices and present-day inequalities.
