ISBN10: 1529908663, ISBN13: 9781529908664, [publisher: Vintage Publishing, London] Hardcover Hardcover. The Sunday Times bestselling broadcaster takes us on a global exploration of ancestral beauty practices. Discover how modern mainstream Eurocentric beauty standards have evolved and how minoritized groups can transcend them by reclaiming their cultural roots.How do we determine what is beautiful? Whose standards are we trying to meet when we spend our hard-earned money on our haircare, skincare and makeup; where do they come from, and how can we learn to undo them?Upon getting her first tattoo at 40 years old, award-winning journalist Afua Hirsch embarked on a journey to reclaim her body from the colonial ideas of purity, adornment and ageing she - and many of us - absorbed while growing up. Informed by research from around the world, Afua will look at how individual and collective notions of what is beautiful are constructed or stripped away from us. Through personal anecdotes, interviews from beauty experts, practitioners and service users, she explores the global history of skin, hair and body modification rituals. These insights and discoveries will empower readers to reconnect with their cultures of origin, better understand the link between beauty and politics, and liberate themselves from mainstream beauty standards that aren't serving them. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. < ...

Hardback. New. <p><b>'A ground-breaking book that speaks to all women' </b><i>Bernardine Evaristo</i><br /><br /><b>What can ancestral practices teach us about how to live fuller lives today?</b><br /><br />Upon turning forty, Afua Hirsch had an encounter that forever altered her preconceived notions of ancestry and body image, making her question everything from body-modification rituals such as tattoos and piercings to the foundations of sexuality, as well as attitudes towards puberty, ageing and death. This book charts her year-long journey of radical unlearning. Bringing together global scholarship, on-the-ground reportage, personal anecdotes and interviews with beauty experts, practitioners and service users, she reassesses notions of body image beyond those of the colonial, patriarchal gaze. <br /><br /> <b><i>Decolonising My Body</i></b> is a powerful excavation of the Eurocentric beauty standards that have long shaped how, in particular, those from the Global Majority are perceived and view themselves. Taking us from puberty to end-of-life, Hirsch shows us that the ways in which we adorn and present ourselves have spiritual implications and shape the possibilities we see for ourselves in the world. <br /><br />These insights and discoveries will empower you to reconnect with your own ancestry, better understand the link between beauty, history an ...
