This book is about why black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation. The author takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, Black Power, and into today's Natural Hair Movement, the Cultural Appropriation Wars, and beyond. We look at the trajectory from hair capitalists like Madam CJ Walker in the early 1900s to the rise of Shea Moisture today, touching on everything from women's solidarity and friendship, to forgotten African scholars, to the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe scope of black hairstyling ranges from pop culture to cosmology, from prehistoric times to the (afro)futuristic. Uncovering sophisticated indigenous mathematical systems in black hair styles, alongside styles that served as secret intelligence networks leading enslaved Africans to freedom, \u003cem\u003eDon't Touch My Hair\u003c\/em\u003e proves that far from being only hair, black hairstyling culture can be understood as an allegory for black oppression and, ultimately, liberation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46337767047404,"sku":"9780141986289","price":24.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14664873482238.jpg?v=1743718163"},{"product_id":"what-white-people-can-do-next-by-emma-dabiri-9780141996738","title":"What White People Can Do Next","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn incisive and deeply practical essay from the acclaimed author of \u003cem\u003eDon't Touch My Hair\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStop the denial\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStop the false equivalencies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInterrogate whiteness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInterrogate capitalism\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDenounce the white Saviour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbandon guilt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe need to talk about racial injustice in a new way—one that builds on the revolutionary ideas of the past and forges new connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this robust and nuanced examination of race, class, and capitalism, Emma Dabiri draws on years of academic study and lived experience, as well as personal reflections on a year like no other.
