Book Description
A Kirkus Best Book of the Year Stamped from the Beginning meets You Can't Touch My Hair in this timely and resonant essay collection from Guardian contributor and prominent BBC race correspondent Emma Dabiri, exploring the ways in which black hair has been appropriated and stigmatized throughout history, with ruminations on body politics, race, pop culture, and Dabiri’s own journey to loving her hair. Emma Dabiri can tell you the first time she chemically straightened her hair. She can describe the smell, the atmosphere of the salon, and her mix of emotions when she saw her normally kinky tresses fall down her shoulders. For as long as Emma can remember, her hair has been a source of insecurity, shame, and—from strangers and family alike—discrimination. And she is not alone. Despite increasingly liberal world views, black hair continues to be erased, appropriated, and stigmatized to the point of taboo. Through her personal and historical journey, Dabiri gleans insights into the way racism is coded in society’s perception of black hair—and how it is often used as an avenue for discrimination. Dabiri takes us from pre-colonial Africa, through the Harlem Renaissance, and into today's Natural Hair Movement, exploring everything from women's solidarity and friendship, to the criminalization of dreadlocks, to the dubious provenance of Kim Kardashian's braids. Through the lens of hair texture, Dabiri leads us on a historical and cultural investigation of the global history of racism—and her own personal journey of self-love and finally, acceptance. Deeply researched and powerfully resonant, Twisted proves that far from being only hair, black hairstyling culture can be understood as an allegory for black oppression and, ultimately, liberation.

Book Description
There's a sound of the past beneath the wind. An ancient memory lives on and on in the Twisted City of Skaier. The Lonari-- the Westmen-- were once great dreamers, riders, and explorers, who throughout many centuries have settled and found value in home and hearth. Yet there are few among them now, named Outriders, who roam Eryad as lone nomads, vagabonds, and highwaymen. One such outrider, Evyrn Úthjan, goes where none have ever returned from in the vain pursuit of fame; but in the Twisted City, no whisper utters from those that pass its foggy gates. Follow Evyrn into Skaier, into a place of storms and secrets. Look upon the still lightning and eternal violet skies, upon the writhing stone and twitching shadows, where answers lay hidden and in waiting. Evyrn must peer through the veil of terror to find his escape. Will he persevere, or will he join the forgotten within the fog of the Twisted City?
