ABOUT THE BOOK
-----
A book at the intersection of racial justice and Black feminism, "Trauma, Tresses, & Truth: Untangling Our Hair Through Personal Narratives" (Chicago Review Press) collects pieces from over twenty contributors interrogating the politics, policing, and perception of African American and Afro Latina women's natural hair in schools, academia, and corporate America. Particularly relevant during this time of emboldened white supremacy, racism, and provocative othering, this work explores how writing about one of the still-remaining systemic biases in American institutions might lead to greater understanding and respect.
