Sommario/riassunto |
|
When is hair ""just hair"" and when is it not ""just hair""? Documenting the politics of African American women's hair, this multi-sited linguistic ethnography explores everyday interaction in beauty parlors, Internet discussions, comedy clubs, and other contexts to illuminate how and why hairmatters in African American women's day-to-day experiences. |
