  • The Concept of Skin Bleaching and Body Image Politics in Kenya
    “FAIR AND LOVELY”: THE CONCEPT OF SKIN BLEACHING AND BODY IMAGE POLITICS IN KENYA Joyce Khalibwa Okango A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2017 Committee: Jeffery A Brown, Advisor Jeremy Wallach Esther Clinton © 2017 Enter your First and Last Name All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffrey Brown, Advisor The practice of skin bleaching or chemically lightening of skin has become a worldwide concern particularly in the past three decades. In Africa, these practices are increasingly becoming problematic due to the circumstances surrounding the procedure and the underlying health risks. Despite these threats, skin bleaching and other body augmentation procedures remain prevalent around the world. This thesis uses a multipronged approach in examining the concept of skin bleaching and body image politics in Kenya. I argue that colonial legacies, globalization, increase in the use of technology, and the digitization of Kenya television broadcasting has had a great impact on the spread and shift of cultures in Kenya resulting to such practices. I will also look at the role of a commercial spaces within a city in enabling and providing access to such practices to middle and lower class citizens. Additionally, this study aims at addressing the importance of decolonizing Kenyans concerning issues surrounding beauty and body image. iv This thesis is a special dedication to loving father, for believing in girl child education and sacrificing everything to see me succeed. For setting the bar so high for me and cheering me on as I made every stride.
