Hair is one of the first attributes to catch our eye, not only because it reflects perceptions of attractiveness or unattractiveness, but also because it conveys important political, cultural, and social meanings, particularly in relation to group identity. Given that mainstream images of beauty do not privilege dark skin and tightly coiled hair, African American women's experience provides a starkly different perspective on the meaning of hair in social identity."--National Women's Studies Association Journal "Grab your copy at your local bookseller and get hip to what your hair is saying to others with regards to beauty, culture and politics. Learn about how culture has a love for coifs, because after all, so do you!"-Sophisticate's Black Hair Styles Guide Drawing on interviews with over 50 women, from teens to seniors, Hair Matters is the first book on the politics of Black hair to be based on substantive, ethnographically informed research. Focusing on the everyday discussions that Black women have among themselves and about themselves, Ingrid Banks analyzes how talking about hair reveals Black women's ideas about race, gender, sexuality, beauty, and power. Ultimately, what emerges is a survey of Black women's consciousness within both their own communities and mainstream culture at large. 606 $aAfrican American women$xRace identity 606 $aAfrican American women$xSocial conditions 606 $aHair$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aBeauty, Personal$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American women$vInterviews 606 $aAfrican American women$xSocial life and customs 608 $aElectronic books. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xRace identity. 615 0$aAfrican American women$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aHair$xSocial aspects 615 0$aBeauty, Personal$xSocial aspects 615 0$aAfrican American women 615 0$aAfrican American women$xSocial life and customs. 676 $a305.48896073 700 $aBanks$b Ingrid$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01049556 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455681803321 996 $aHair Matters$92478671 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01902oam 2200517 450 001 9910711855003321 005 20190206091211.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002487531 035 $a(OCoLC)953696488 035 $a(OCoLC)995470000002487531 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002487531 100 $a20160718d1999 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aOpen skies aerial photography of selected areas in Central America affected by Hurricane Mitch /$fby Bruce F.
