Dont Touch My Hair
Emma Dabiri
An intellectual investigation into the serious business of black women's hair, covering topics such as race, gender, social codes, tradition, culture, and history. This groundbreaking book explores the range of black hairstyling from pop culture to prehistoric times and even secret intelligence networks leading enslaved Africans to freedom. Uncovering sophisticated mathematical systems in black hairstyles, the author proves that black hairstyling culture is an allegory for black oppression and liberation. Shortlisted for the 2019 Irish Book Awards.

Also, it's a short book if that helps?
Also, her first book #DontTouchMyHair was a real eye-opener for me, absolutely fascinating (and shaming). One of its achievements was to examine racism through the prism of 'female beauty'
