I began looking for my sources through onesearch on the hunter college library by first entering the title of the novel and keywords such as “beauty” since I am focusing on how capitalism functions to define beauty. I also remembered that I wanted to include the chapter we read for class by George Yancy because he also mentions how the conceptions of American beauty relate to whiteness which allow for the dominance of these conceptions. I struggled to find articles which focused on the role of China, Poland, and Miss Marie although they are mentioned in a few of the articles.
