| Sumario: | Charts Black women's journeys with their hair: how it is perceived, judged, and graded on the yardstick of mainstream society's standards of beauty. Prince delves into the politics of Black women's hair, specifically examining the impact on the emotional lives of Black girls and women. Incorporating her own voice as a mother and a sociologist, and memories of her own childhood experiences with her hair, she provides an understanding of how some Black women use rituals surrounding hair to create positive bonds with their daughters. Prince suggests that something beautiful can be nourished in the realm of spirit between a woman and her daughter when they sit in quiet to attend to hair combing and hair grooming. -- |
