" The essays in Lawson’s This Is Major: Notes on Diana Ross, Dark Girls, and Being Dope ask questions like: Why are black women invisible to AI? What is “black girl magic”? Or: Am I one viral tweet away from becoming Twitter famous? And: How much magic does it take to land a Tinder date? Timely, enlightening, and wickedly sharp, This Is Major places black women at the center — no longer silenced, no longer the minority. From Guardian contributor and prominent BBC race correspondent Emma Dabiri comes Twisted: The Tangled History of Black Hair Culture, a timely and resonant essay collection exploring the ways in which black hair has been appropriated and stigmatized throughout history, with ruminations on body politics, race, pop culture, and Dabiri's own journey to loving her hair."
