Feminist Theories - Bell Hooks, Van Zoonen

FEMINISM

Feminism is the advocacy of women's rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes. 

Bell Hooks - The Colour Codes: Lighter skinned women are considered ore desirable and fit better into the western ideology of beauty. Darker women are objectified and sexualised in hip-hop reflecting the colonialist view of Black women. Commodified blackness, a mediated view of black culture that is considered the "norm".
