Libro Prima edizione
Hardcover. First Ed; First Printing indicated. First Ed; First Printing indicated. Near Fine in Near Fine DJ: Book shows shows very slight spine lean; very faint soiling at top edge; minimal indications of shelving along bottom edge of boards. Binding secure; text clean. Dustwrapper shows mild rubbing; price unclipped; mylar-protected. Overall, very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 165pp. Hardback with DJ. This was a book that all of black america (especially black men) should read. Anybody on this side of the color bar knows, HAIR IS A BIG DEAL. It really widened my eyes (and I do mean widened, 'cause mine are already open) to the plight and inner struggles a sister goes through just with her hair. To conform or not to conform, that is the question? To weave or not to weave? To let a hot comb sizzle your ears or let curling irons burn your neck? To perm or let the roots go back to Africa? Why does Jheri curl? Whether we admit it or not, hairstyle (or lack of) is another one of our intercultural racisms. (We won't get into that light-skinned, dark-skinned thing.) And corporate America ain't down with hairstyles that represent freedom and any attachment to the Motherland. The author has an open, honest, easy going style that sucked me into the story from page one, and I look forward to devouring her future projects. Miss Gibson, keep pen to paper, continiously move onward and upward toward the light.
