From the kitchen to the parlor : language and becoming in African American women's hair care

Lanita Jacobs-Huey

When is hair "just hair" and when is it not "just hair"? Documenting the politics of African American women's hair, this multi-sited linguistic ethnography explores everyday interaction in beauty parlors, Internet discussions, comedy clubs, and other contexts to illuminate how and why hairmatters in African American women's day-to-day experiences
