Queens: Portraits of Black Women and their Fabulous Hair

Beautiful book with many lovely stories. It’s not, in my opinion, quite as wonderful as “Crowns” by the same photographer. Maybe I’m more of a hat person! If you love fact “do’s,” you must buy this book!

I have bought each of these books, and they do not disappoint; Again, guys, you did a great job; Watching sisters with straight,perm,bald,natural,braided hair talk about their hair experiences made me feel a connection to them; like, I know how you feel; I understood the sister who had to wear a wig to cover her locks; I understood the sorority sister who couldn't find the specific perm she needed for her hair and how she went to various lengths to get it; (Oh, I been there too); The sister with the mohawk, the sisters from Ghana; the ones with the fancy hairstyles as well as those regular every day sisters just trying to have a say; Thanks.

I want my child to know about real people next door not celebrities.

great

I found "Queens: Portraits of Black Women and Their Hair" to be a wonderful book. I enjoyed the photographs and the stories that went along with them. Hair is such a loaded issue for Black women that it's refreshing to see a book that glorifies all manner of hair and hair styles. As India Arie sings, "I am not my hair" meaning I am more than my hair. However, there's a very real part of us that is our hair and Michael Cunningham has captured that part.

love it

Nice book. Also purchased "Crowns" by Cunningham. They make a great pair. I've begun developing a collection of photo books. So "Queens" fits in nicely.

This is a wonderful coffee table book and has many beautiful portraits of black women.

Beautiful book, a great read. Bought in great condition second hand. Beautiful photography.

I expected more pictures and life-story, i was a kind of disappointed... if only i knew i woudnt have bought it...
