Michael Cunningham & George Alexander QUEENS: Portraits of Black Women and their Fabulous Hair November 2005 African-American Arts & Culture , Photography From intricate braids to relaxed, flowing tresses to dreadlocks to Afros, black women have literally used their heads to express themselves and showcase their ideals of beauty. In more than fifty gorgeous photographs accompanied by vivid, personal narratives, QUEENS explores the fascination with hair and beauty that has long been a part of African American culture. A host of women tell their personal hair stories and female hairdressers explain why they devote their lives to making black woman feel like royalty. A gallery of portraits taken at black hair shows throughout the country is juxtaposed with photographs taken in Africa, bringing to light the almost uncanny connection between the innovative 'dos of contemporary African America and traditional African styles. “When we found out the baby was a girl, my husband said, ‘Okay, a girl. Alright, that means we’re going to have hair issues.’” –Lynn Godfrey “I set my hair money aside like it’s a bill...It’s like paying the phone bill, the electricity bill, the gas bill. I don’t play about my hair. –Nitiya Barry - From the Inside Flap
