What part of your beautiful self were you taught to hate? We spend a lot of time trying to improve our 'defects', according to society's ideals of beauty. But these ideals that are often reductive, tyrannical and commercially entangled, imposed upon us by oppressive systems and further strengthened by our conditioned self-loathing. This book encourages unruliness, exploring the ways in which we can rebel against and subvert the current system.

Stop the denial. Abandon guilt. Interrogate capitalism. When it comes to racial justice, how do we transform demonstrations of support into real and meaningful change? With intellectual rigour and razor-sharp wit, Emma Dabiri cuts through the haze of online discourse to offer clear advice.

This audiobook is about why black hair matters and how it can be viewed as a blueprint for decolonisation. Emma Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, Black Power and on to today's Natural Hair Movement, the cultural appropriation wars and beyond. We look at everything from hair capitalists like Madam C.J. Walker in the early 1900s to the rise of Shea Moisture today, from women's solidarity and friendship to 'black people time', forgotten African scholars and the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids.

Alisado. Estigmatizado. «Domado». Celebrado. Borrado. Gestionado. Apropiado. Siempre incomprendido. El pelo negro nunca es «solo pelo». Este libro trata de por qué el cabello negro es importante y de cómo puede considerarse un modelo de descolonización. A lo largo de una serie de ensayos irónicos e informados, Emma Dabiri nos lleva desde el África precolonial, pasando por el Renacimiento de Harlem, el Black Power y hasta el actual movimiento del pelo natural, la apropiación cultural y más allá.
