Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul - Gender and American Culture
Tanisha C. Ford
Explores how and why black women in places as far-flung as New York, Atlanta, London, and Johannesburg incorporated style and beauty culture into their activism. Focusing on the emergence of the "soul style" movement - represented in clothing, jewelry, hairstyles, and more - Liberated Threads shows that black women's fashion choices became galvanizing symbols of gender and political liberation.
