To conduct a search on this topic, I would suggest starting with a broad general search, “politics of black hair” and narrowing it down. I began with a cursory search on Google and then moved onto the Langara College Library. I suggest using academic databases to find reliable information and to implement Boolean operators to expand or narrow your search.
Some general keywords and phrases to consider:
- politics of black hair
- black hair politics
- natural hair politics
- African American
- Black
- Black hair
- Workplace discrimination
- Natural Black hair
- Race discrimination
Boolean Search Examples:
- black hair AND politics
- natural black hair AND workplace discrimination
- black hair OR natural hair AND politics
- natural black hair AND politics
