In searching for these articles, I mostly focused on seeking out journal publications concerning the analysis of the characters China, Poland, and Miss Marie in The Bluest Eye. I found most of the articles listing above by searching their names in Google Scholar and the library portal. It was difficult to find articles solely focused on these characters, so the articles I found look more broadly at the themes of victimization, subjugation and issues revolving around the body found in The Bluest Eye, all of which have analyses of these characters. I was also interested in finding an overview of sex work in America, and I consulted one of the journals to which Hunter subscribes that covers a broader range of subjects than the literary journals.

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.
