Summary of Phoebe Robinsons's You Can't Touch My Hair
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The fear of black hair has been an ever-present part of America's social history. Black hair is usually a reminder of Otherness, and people have historically not handled Otherness well.
#2 Black hair is still treated as an object that does not belong to us, but is fair game to be discussed, mocked, judged, used, and abused.
#3 Black women's hair is not just expensive and time-consuming, but also a means of preserving their quality of life and how others treat them.
#4 Black women's hair doesn't meet beauty standards, and they are often subjected to negativity because of it. This can lead to feelings of self-doubt, shame, embarrassment, and confusion about who they should try to be and whether it's better to fully be themselves or not.
