You can't touch my hair : and other things I still have to explain
Robinson, Phoebe2022
Books
Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of 'the black friend,' as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ('isn't that white people music?'); she's been called 'uppity' for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all the time. Now, she's ready to take these topics to the page - and she's going to make you laugh as she's doing it.
