Twisted: The Tangled History Of Black Hair Culture Book Cover Twisted: The Tangled History Of Black Hair Culture

Book Review

In her groundbreaking and eye-opening book, Twisted: The Tangled History of Black Hair Culture, journalist and author Emma Dabiri explores the complex and often painful relationship between Black people and their hair. From the days of slavery to the present day, Dabiri shows how Black hair has been used as a tool of oppression and control, and how it has been a source of both pride and shame for Black people.

Drawing on historical research, interviews, and personal stories, Dabiri traces the history of Black hair culture from the African continent to the Americas and Europe. She shows how Black hair has been used to signify status, beauty, and identity, but also how it has been used to dehumanize and control Black people.
