Review

"Sociologist Berry has taught at several American universities….In this text, she tackles social inequality centered on physical appearance skin color, hair texture, height, weight, eye shape, disabilities and deformities, condition of the teeth, evidence of aging, and beauty which, compared to other forms of racism, is still legal and socially acceptable. Berry examines the ways that physical appearance affects health, chances at romance (and marriage and family), and workplace experiences; the activities and procedures people undergo to become more socially desirable via their appearance; how various systems medical and health insurance professions, the legal system, the global and economic community respond to people differently depending on appearance; the issue of choice to engage in appearance enhancement; and movements to promote looks-diversity acceptance."

Review

"Dr. Berry provides a cogent and accessible analysis of the long-standing discrimination the less-than-lovely face daily. Her humanistic and jargon-free coverage of what it is like to be denied access and opportunity and to have your value as a human being called into question simply because you're not tall, slender, and beautiful enough is located both in the worlds of scholarly rigor and experiential closeness. Insightful, provocative, and compelling, this book is a must read for anyone seeking to understand the myriad costs and consequences of fetish-ed beauty in 21st century America."
