What is the cultural significance of Black hair and how does it impact the way African Americans show up across all arenas of social life? And what are some art practices that have been built around that? In this Season 14 premiere, host Dr. Mark Anthony Neal welcomes fellow Duke colleague Prof. Jasmine Nichole Cobb to discuss her latest book, "New Growth: The Art and Texture of Black Hair," published by Duke University Press.
“In this brilliantly conceived and groundbreaking book, Jasmine Nichole Cobb provides startling new insights about the entanglements of Black hair with the archive, the political, and the visual." - Sarah Haley, author
