Summary:
"Despite increasingly liberal world views,
black
hair
continues to be erased, appropriated, and stigmatized to the point of taboo. Through her personal and historical journey, Dabiri gleans insights into the way racism is coded in society's perception of
black
hair
-- and how it is often used as an avenue for discrimination. Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, and into today's Natural
Hair
Movement, exploring everything from women's solidarity and friendship, to the criminalization of dreadlocks, to the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids. Through the lens of
hair
texture, Dabiri leads us on a historical and cultural investigation of the global
history
of racism -- and her own personal journey of self-love and finally, acceptance. Deeply researched and powerfully resonant,
Twisted
proves that far from being only
hair
,
black
hairstyling
culture
can be understood as an allegory for
black
oppression and, ultimately, liberation."--Publisher
