Explore the incredible history of Afro hair in this full-colour
gift hardback.
The Story of Afro Hair celebrates the fashion and styles
of Afro hair over the last 5,000 years.
From plaits to the Gibson Girl, cornrows to locks, the hi-top
fade to funki dreds, The Story of Afro Hair is the ultimate
book of Afro hairstories.
Kicking off with an explanation of how Afro hair type grows
and why, The Story of Afro Hair then takes us right back
to the politics and fashion of Ancient Egypt.
Speeding forwards to modern times we experience the Kingdom
of Benin, Henry VIII's court, the enslavement of African peoples,
the Harlem Renaissance, the beginnings of Rastafarianism, Britain
in the 1980s - and much more.
With vibrant full colour illustrations by Joelle
Avelino.
A sparkling gold foil hardback cover - the perfect
gift for anyone interested in culture, fashion and history.
With profiles of inspirational key figures in the Afro
hair beauty industry, such as Sara Spencer Washington,
Madam CJ Walker, Viola Desmond, Lincoln Dyke, Dudley Dryden and
Anthony Wade.
"A brilliant read for Black History Month, [a] thought-provoking,
lively & accessible guide for seven plus" - The
Guardian
"...this is more than a book about the fashion of a physical
trait. This extraordinary piece of non-fiction views historical
events from a new perspective and shows so many aspects of history
that are specific to the experience of those with Afro hair.
And that is why this book is so brilliant." The Historian
Next Door
