A Twisted Style: The Culture of Dreadlocks in  Western  Societies


Add your own review!

Overview

In western cultures, some people have chosen a dreadlock hairstyle, despite many in mainstream society looking at it in a negative light. This book deals with contradictions surrounding the hairstyle such as often representing a protest against the prevailing right-wing political systems, yet also emphasizing the white person's power to appropriate any style. Based on interviews and close observations in social media, the book offers insights into the culture(s) surrounding dreadlocks and ultimately interprets the phenomenon as a postmodern form of individuality.

Very engaging and intriguing... Being fascinated by how cultural societies evolve globally, I never imagined that dreadlocks could form an interesting part of both general and academic discussions. Salute and kudos to the author! * Manju Rughwani, Ajeenkya DY Patil University, India
