However, these unflattering images of black women have been around for years, being the result of colonization and slavery, all portraying the same message. That black women are lesser than their white counterparts.

Shame is a powerful and sometimes useful tool. When we publicly shame corrupt politicians, abusive celebrities or predatory corporations, we reinforce values of fairness and justice. But as best-selling author Cathy O'Neil argues in this revelatory book, shaming has taken a new and dangerous turn.

O'Neil explores the machinery behind all this shame, showing how governments, corporations and the healthcare system capitalise on it.
