Constructed through cultural ideals, image as identity has be come the basis for determining societal norms. In this research I use Black feminist theory to show how hair in the Black community has become a contributing factor when determining standards of identity through image, as well as through cultural acceptance of what it means to be Black. Through autoethnography I analyze the ways in which societal, cultural, gendered and media norms control race representations based on hair.Item What Return on Their Investment Can Oakland Students Expect?(Oakland University, 2015-01-01) Folland, Sherman T.; Clason, Christopher; Garfinkle, DavidData from Payscale Inc. and commentary from author about Oakland University students possible return on their investment in employment field.Item The Way We Were(Brown, Judith.
