Krátky popis
'Groundbreaking . . .a scintillating, intellectual investigation
into black women and the very serious business of our hair, as it
pertains to race, gender, social codes, tradition, culture,
cosmology, maths, politics, philosophy and history' Bernardine
Evaristo Straightened. Stigmatized. 'Tamed'.Celebrated. Erased.
Managed.Appropriated. Forever misunderstood. Black hair is never
'just hair'.This book is about why black hair matters and how it
can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation. Over a series of
wry, informed essays, Emma Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial
Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, Black Power and on to
today's Natural Hair Movement, the Cultural Appropriation Wars and
beyond. We look everything from hair capitalists like Madam
C.J.Walker in the early 1900s to the rise of Shea Moisture today,
from women's solidarity and friendship to 'black people time',
forgotten African scholars and the dubious provenance of Kim
Kardashian's braids. The scope of black hairstyling ranges from pop
culture to cosmology, from prehistoric times to the
(afro)futuristic. Uncovering sophisticated indigenous mathematical
systems in black hairstyles, alongside styles that served as secret
intelligence networks leading enslaved Africans to freedom, Don't
Touch My Hair proves that far from being only hair, black
hairstyling culture can be understood as an allegory for black
oppression and, ultimately, liberation.
