The peculiar nature and politics of afro-textured hair as a new racialized form of cultural geography within America

Aim: The noetic gaze of my social science-oriented composition is to carefully interrogate the modern-day sociopolitical effort to re-contextualize, reframe and reconstruct Afrotextured hair within America as a divisive form of cultural geography. Methodology: I critically examine the complex religio-historical inheritance, anfractuous socio-historical entanglement and precarious sociocultural evolution ascribed to the Afro-textured cheveux as a modern-day cultural expression freighted with race-relations vitriol. Results: I interrogate America’s Original Sin, the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the abstruse Daedalian power relations that peculiarly isolate, nourish and sustain the present-day revilement against Black natural hair within contemporaneous American society.
