The book synthesizes research in history, fashion, art and visual culture to reassess the hair story of peoples of African descent. Long a fraught topic for African Americans and others in the diaspora, Black hair is here addressed by artists, barbers and activists in both its historical perceptions and its ramifications for self and society today.
Curated by Dr. Tameka Ellington and Dr. Joseph Underwood for the Kent State University Museum. The exhibition ran from September 10, 2021 through August 14, 2022.
