In this bundle you will find :

• Hair in African art and culture published by The Museum for African Art, 1999 - Hard Cover

  “This book serve to introduce a mode of African art too little and too infrequently recognized or appreciated. In traditional and modern Africa, and the African-American diaspora, hair styles establish a personal identity that reflects both fashion and aesthetic choice.”

• Hairstyles by J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere, 2000

  “All these hairstyles are ephemeral and I want my photographs to be memorable traces of them. I have always wanted to record moments of beauty, moments of knowledge. Art is life. Without art, life woul be frozen.”

• Coiffures traditionnelles et modernes du Mali by Mamadou Kone, 1971

  “This book is more than an album ; it is an absolute living encyclopedia of the beauties of our land. So women of Mali, wear your hairstyles proudly, for they are the soundest basis of your dignity and of your personality and assurance that your beauty will survive.”

• African Hairstyles - Styles of Yesterday and Today by Esi Sagay, 1983

  “In Africa, the hair has always been accorded particular attention. Hair is styled for a number of reasons. : in some parts of the African continent different styles distinguish age sets; in others ceremonial occasions are marked by special styles; often, as is the case elsewhere in the world, fashion dictates the ways in which the hair is worn.”
