Whiskerology: The Culture of Hair in Nineteenth-Century America
Sarah Gold McBride
Whiskerology traces how hair became a significant marker of identity and belonging in nineteenth-century America. Viewed during the colonial period as disposable, to be donned or removed like clothing, hair later became an external sign of internal truths about the self—especially one’s gender, race, and nationality.
