Hot Comb by Ebony Flowers
5.0
Hot Comb was another book I've been meaning to borrow from the library for awhile and finally carpe diem-ed myself into it now that my local branch is closing for a year of renovations. What I found was an opportunity, as a white woman, to peek into the relationship between black women and their hair.
Ebony Flowers' collection of short comics tells different stories of different women, but each are piercing, sweet, and heartfelt, as much full of melancholy and mourning as joy and love. I knew natural hair was a big issue, but I've never before felt the emotional undercurrent of that. Colonialism continues to suck and take away far too much. Let women and their hair be.
