The Politics of Black Women's Hair Paperback – April 12, 2010

On Kindle, the word "BLACK" has disappeared from the title, as though covered with white-out. What kind of message is that? Inside the edition, there appears to be no attempt at visual coherence. One essay runs into another, there are typos, and it needs editing in general. I deleted it from my Kindle because it was such a mess. I hope the paperback edition is easier to read.

Great book! Fun and easy to read without sacrificing depth. Highly recommend!

A practical view of what sisters have to deal with, real and perceived.

informative and well written

Contains a lot of great information.

This book is quite good on explaining how women felt and still feel about their hair, how society sees it... But it won't give you solution to your hair problems.

Good read. Worth the buy

The words and chapters run together a bit, so be ready for that. Otherwise, an informative book. I am a white woman from outside of the USA trying to understand somerhing new and this definitely helped.

I reveived my book on time ( canada) thank you! Good book

Une réflexion passionnante sur le rapport qu'entretiennent les femmes de couleur avec leurs cheveux crépus. Un rapport étudié sous différents aspects et qui révèlent des choses étonnantes, dérangeantes et parfois très émouvantes. Se défriser les cheveux est loin d'être un acte neutre.
