‘Don’t Touch My Hair’ is a brilliant book, discussing how political every part of blackness, especially black hair, is. I only had a shallow understanding of black hair and its politics, so this book was an insightful way to learn.
Unsurprising how much white people benefitted (and continue to benefit) from blackness 😢
Emma Dabiri did a brilliant job with this one. 3.5 stars out of 5 for me and definitely one to come back to 🥹 Thank you ✨

Fantastic book. Superbly researched. Great blend of personal anecdotes and historical information. Honestly, there’s so much substance to this book. You definitely come away from it with a much broader perspective on and understanding of African culture and the attacks on it through the ages.

Highly recommend the audiobook version. It's read by the author and her humour and personality really comes through and adds to the experience!
