Hello Everyone,
American Roots: Hairdressers & Beauty Shop Culture in America.
American roots I knew about American roots music is inspired by a variety of genres like folk, traditional country, Tejano, blues, and gospel. American roots music has a powerful history, including 1960s youth singing protest anthems, labor organizers belting "union songs," and enslaved African Americans singing spirituals. American roots culture showcased here is very good. This American roots film is courtesy of Library of Congress.
Candacy Taylor discusses hairdressers and beauty shop culture. Although the practice of styling hair may appear to be based in vanity, hairdressing traditions and styling practices reflect our belief systems about race, class and cultural production. From the hills of San Francisco to the hills of the Appalachian Mountains; from the tip of Provincetown, Mass., to the tip of the Gullah Geechee Islands in South Carolina; and from the Lumbee Indians, who were here before there was an America, to Pakistanis who just arrived in Queens, this multimedia presentation gives unprecedented access into the intimate space of the salon.
