Description

The Global Beauty Industry is an interdisciplinary academic text that uses beauty as a lens to examine gender, race, class, colorism, nation, bodies, multiculturalism, transnationalism, and intersectionality across diverse cultural and geopolitical contexts. Published by Routledge and part of the Framing 21st Century Social Issues series, this book integrates materials from international sources to build more globally relevant curricula in sociology, cultural studies, women's and gender studies, media studies, and globalisation studies. Ideal for students and scholars seeking comprehensive analysis of how beauty standards intersect with social identity, power structures, and cultural meaning-making in our interconnected world.

Key Features

The Global Beauty Industry examines beauty through an interdisciplinary framework that connects gender, race, class, and colorism across multiple social dimensions.

This Routledge text integrates cultural and geopolitical materials from around the world to support internationally informed academic study and curriculum development.

The book addresses intersectionality and transnationalism, exploring how beauty standards shape national bodies and multicultural identities in contemporary society.

Designed for sociology, cultural studies, women's and gender studies, media studies, and globalisation studies programmes seeking rigorous, globally-informed scholarship.
