The Colorism Database

The Colorism Database is an ever growing, searchable index containing hundreds of works that explore colorism around the world. This includes everything from scholarly research to podcasts and plays spanning more than a century. Browse through and click on the entries to learn more about each work.

This database was supported by interns Dominique Dempsey (American University, ‘21) and Selorm Quist (The New School, ‘22). Their work on the project has been essential in keeping the index up to date.
