Abstract

When is just hair and when is it not just hair? Documenting the politics of African American women's hair, this multi-sited linguistic ethnography explores everyday interaction in beauty parlors, Internet discussions, comedy clubs, and other contexts to illuminate how and why matters in African American women's day-to-day experiences.
