Download Beauty Shop Politics Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Looking through the lens of black business history, Beauty Shop Politics shows how black beauticians in the Jim Crow era parlayed their economic independence and access to a public community space into platforms for activism. Tiffany M. Gill argues that the beauty industry played a crucial role in the creation of the modern black female identity and that the seemingly frivolous space of a beauty salon actually has stimulated social, political, and economic change. From the founding of the National Negro Business League in 1900 and onward, African Americans have embraced the entrepreneurial spirit by starting their own businesses, but black women's forays into the business world were overshadowed by those of black men. With a broad scope that encompasses the role of gossip in salons, ethnic beauty products, and the social meanings of African American hair textures, Gill shows how African American beauty entrepreneurs built and sustained a vibrant culture of activism in beauty salons and schools. Enhanced by lucid portrayals of black beauticians and drawing on archival research and oral histories, Beauty Shop Politics conveys the everyday operations and rich culture of black beauty salons as well as their role in building community.

Mario Bellatin’s complex dreamscape, offered here in a brand-new translation, presents a timely allegorical portrait of the body and society in decay, victim to inscrutable pandemic. In a large, unnamed city, a strange, highly infectious disease begins to spread, afflicting its victims with an excruciating descent toward death, particularly unsparing in its assault of those on society's margins. Spurned by their loved ones and denied treatment by hospitals, the sick are left to die on the streets until a beauty salon owner, whose previous caretaking experience extended only to the exotic fish tanks scattered among his workstations, opens his doors as a refuge. In the ramshackle Morgue, victim to persecution and violence, he accompanies his male guests as they suffer through the lifeless anticipation of certain death, eventually leaving the wistful narrator in complete, ill-fated isolation.

Download THE UNBELIEVABLE & TRUE STORY BEHIND SHELLY GARRETT'S "BEAUTY SHOP" Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A look at how ""The Godfather Of Black Theatre"" started the trend of all the touring stage plays in America. There were so many people who laughed at him when he mentioned he was writing a stage play called ""BEAUTY SHOP,"" but Shelly Garrett got the last laugh, as his historical stage production went on to gross more than 33 million dollars and that was in the late 1980's. That figure today would equal more than 100 million dollars. Find out how he would ""woo"" the radio and television stations to promote his production. Also, his relationships with promoters across the country and one who stole more than a million dollars from him, without his knowledge. His rocky marriage to singer Me'Lisa Morgan (""Do Me Baby"") is a mouth-dropping subject in this book and what was done to end the nuptials. ""The entire book will keep you on the edge of your seat; it is definitely interesting reading and some of the incidents are truly incredible,"" states a well-noted reviewer. By far, worth every penny.
