Review: You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain

You Can't Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain You Can’t Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain by Phoebe Robinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book had me intrigued the moment I read the title. As that statement….”you can’t touch my hair” has been stated by just about every African American women in the world. I liked a few things about this, amusing and thought-provoking collection of essays. To be a black women in American means, you have to contend with old prejudices, crazy stereotypes and other absurdities. Phoebe uses her wit to examine our cultural climate and she does this with humor and great character. My suggestion is to listen to this book, as she is the narrator and pulls you in from the very first page.
