Hair is potent. It can be an emotional and intense matter across gender - it will grow in places you don’t like, it may desert you - suddenly, or gradually. It is a symbol of gender, sexuality, status, and more. Part memoir, part investigation across history, politics, religion, and culture, Hair/Power explores the power, control and ultimate liberation that hair can provide.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Braiding together memoir and cultural criticism, Hair/Power explores the power, control, and liberation that hair can provide.Growing up as a second-generation Indian immigrant, Kajal Odedra remembers the first time she cut her waist-length hair. It was an act of rage, of defiance, an attempt to push back against societal expectations and regain control. She realised at an early age that hair is never "just hair": both its presence and absence can have a profound impact. While hair is a powerful form of self-expression, it is also a political battleground, where bodies are policed and normative beauty standards wreak havoc. But who is setting the standards, and how can we dispel these harmful cultural myths?Interspersing intimate anecdotes with intersectional commentary, Hair/Power dives into the origins and cultural significance of hair- from buzz cuts to baldness-exposing the roots of a beauty industry built on discrimination. Ultimately Odedra is able to find self-love, and she shows us how hair can be a powerful tool for activism, community building, and bringing about our shared liberation. Artikel-Nr. LU-9781916637283
