Hair: How Does It Represent The Suppression Of Culture Within America

Abstract

This zine is about how the limiting of natural hair colors and textures have been used as medium to suppress other cultures. America is supposed to be the land of belonging but you can only belong if you fit in a certain stereotypical perception. Whether is be African American. Native American, or another sort of culture hair style and texture can play a much larger role in their culture than white American is willing to admit.
