Review
"The complexities and contradictions of an African American industry based on dominant standards of beauty are skillfully woven throughout the text. This book presents the Jim Crow era from a fresh perspective, offering new revelations of opportunity, industry, and struggle." --The Journal of Southern History
About the Author
Julia Kirk Blackwelder is associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and a professor of history at Texas A&M University, where she has taught since 1993. In her two earlier books published by Texas A&M University Press and in her many articles and essays, she has focused primarily on aspects of women and work. That interest led her to the archives of African American beauty schools and the writing of Styling Jim Crow. Blackwelder earned her Ph.D. from Emory University.
