Welcome to the fourth in our new monthly feature which will showcase a new book available to borrow from your library service. The books are chosen by our team.
This month we have chosen “Don’t Touch My Hair” by Emma Dabiri. Emma is a presenter, social historian and writer.
See the review below for a taster:
“If you’re expecting cookie-cutter discourse on the nature of black people’s hair, look away now. Don’t Touch My Hair might take its title from one of the most well-known (if still frustratingly common) aspects of being black in a predominantly white society, but it will quickly comb away what you thought you knew about our coils and spread out a whole new way of seeing the world around you.”
-Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, The Guardian
The book is available to borrow now from our RSCH, PRH and MVH libraries. Contact us to reserve your copy.
Or you can read the e-book via Kortext – on the Kortext website use ‘Sign in to browse your institution library’ and locate your NHS Trust/organisation. For more information click here.
We’d love to hear your own review when you read it.
How many stars would you give it? Would you recommend it to friends? Are there similar books you’d recommend?
