About the Book

In the aftermath of the 60s "Black is Beautiful" movement and publication of The Color Complex almost thirty years later the issue of skin color has mushroomed onto the world stage of social science. Such visibility has inspired publication of the Melanin Millennium for insuring that the discourse on skin color meet the highest standards of accuracy and objective investigation.

This volume addresses the issue of skin color in a worldwide context. A virtual visit to countries that have witnessed a huge rise in the use of skin whitening products and facial feature surgeries aiming for a more Caucasian-like appearance will be taken into account. The book also addresses the question of whether using the laws has helped to redress injustices of skin color discrimination, or only further promoted recognition of its divisiveness among people of color and Whites.

The Melanin Millennium has to do with now and the future. In the 20th century science including eugenics was given to an dominated by discussions of race category. Heretofore there remain social scientists and other relative to the issue of skin color loyal to race discourse. However in their interpretation and analysis of social phenomena the world has move on. Thus while race dominated the 20th century the 21st century will emerge as a global community dominated by skin color and making it the melanin millennium.

Dr. Hall later devised the Bleaching Syndrome to explain discrimination among people of color and Identity Across the Lifespan as an alternative biracial identity model. Dr. Hall's work includes over 150 (co)authored publications, interviews, and presentations on these topics including Justice Clarence Thomas and President Barack Obama via TIME magazine and Oprah Winfrey via The Color Complex. His previous book is titled: An Historical Analysis of Skin Color Discrimination in America (2010). His most recent is titled: Rooming in the Master's House: Power and Privilege in the Rise of Black Conservatism (2010). Dr. Hall's has lectured on skin color both locally and internationally including the U.S. Congress and Oxford University. His most recent event took place in Suriname, South America in November of 2010 where he was the keynote for a medical convention. There Dr. Hall advised an organization of European doctors of the Bleaching Syndrome.
