Black Beauty (third edition - ebook)

$0.00

AN AESTHETIC HISTORY OF THE HAIR, SKIN-TONE, FEATURES AND MAKE-UP STYLES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN SUPERMODELS, SINGERS AND CELEBRITIES
By Ben Arogundade

Black Beauty chronicles the way in which the beauty values of blacks have fared throughout Western culture, from antiquity to the present. It analyses the aesthetics of make-up, hair, skin-tone and facial features, and the way in which they have historically been both accepted and rejected within society. The narrative draws on the galaxy of African American stars of twentieth century film, fashion, music, television and sports. From Josephine Baker to Beyoncé, from traditional African hairstyles to coloured contact lenses and blonde weaves, Black Beauty has become the key text for all studies of this branch of beauty history.
