Sheilas Shop: Working Class African American Women Talk About Life Love Race & Hair
Battle-Walters (Azusa Pacific U.) describes the stories, expectations, and frustrations found in women's conversations in an exclusively working-class African American beauty shop. They discuss what it means to be strong, successful and beautiful both inside and outside the shop walls, and what they think the rest of the world thinks of them. Battle-Walters augments their verbatim conversations with comments and analysis about conditions and changes in communities like theirs across the nation.
