“Disobedient Bodies” with Emma Dabiri

Join us as we speak with Emma Dabiri, activist, educator, researcher, and author of Don’t Touch My Hair (UK) / Twisted (US), which explores the ways in which black hair has been appropriated and stigmatized throughout history. Emma shares her experiences with racism and sexism, the dangers of the commodification of beauty, and the importance of looking deeper than face value. We also touch upon a myriad of other topics including feminism, health and diet culture, beauty stereotypes, patriarchal norms, neoliberalism, COVID, and societal reform.

'Tamed'. Celebrated. Erased. Managed. Appropriated. Forever misunderstood. Black hair is never 'just hair'. This book is about why black hair matters. 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. The scope of black hairstyling ranges from pop culture to cosmology, from prehistoric times to the (afro)futuristic. Uncovering sophisticated indigenous mathematical systems in black hairstyles, alongside styles that served as secret intelligence networks leading enslaved Africans to freedom, Don't Touch My Hair proves that far from being only hair , black hairstyling culture can be understood as an allegory for black oppression and, ultimately, liberation.
