‘Skin Trade’: Genealogy of Anti-ageing ‘Whiteness Therapy’ in Colonial Medicine
Tập 4 - Trang 119-129 - 2014
This article investigates the extent to which the emerging trend of
do-it-yourself anti-ageing skin-whitening products represents a re-articulation

dollar industry anchored in the USA, but expanding globally. Do-it-yourself
