Hair Story: Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America ReviewThis is a subject that really has my attention lately and this book by Tharps and Byrd is a winner!! It discusses our culture from its beginning (pre-slavery Africa) to present day America.
Whether we realize it or not, how we live has much to do with the uniqueness of our tresses. This is not only true of how others view us but also how we've viewed each other over the years. As the authors verify, Hair has been a tremendous source of Politcial as well as Economical advancement and controversy that while less evident in the 21st century, will probably continue to be a strong player in our daily lives.

Did you know that.....
1. In Africa, a hair style can denote if a man was at war or if a woman was married or not?
2) There was a famous woman who proceeded Madam C.J. Walker w/her line of beauty products?
3) in 1988 the Rev. Jesse Jackson conducted a "mock funeral" for the Revelon beauty line of products?
4) the correct spelling is Dredlocks not Dreadlocks? (the "a" should be dropped)
5) the Jherrie curl was named after a white man?
---------------------------------------------------------
Some things I was somewhat aware of, other things....I had no idea.
Not only was this book informative, it also has an extensive bibliography, pictures and definitions throughout. Read it!! It's not long and cumbersome. And I promise you, you'll learn more about African American culture than just a HAIR STORY!!Hair Story: Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America Overview
