What follows is a book about culture also a book about change, aspiring to link together the past with the present. it is a book about the qualities of being modern, and what modern life has meant, in relation to Nubian people’s hair. it is a book about the price we all pay on superficial appearance whether we care to admit it or not. it is a book about the destitute of self-knowledge, which motivated us to disassociate ourselves from ourselves with the inexplicable reasoning. Think of this knowledge as Samizdat Out-formation: an informal, unsanctioned way of conveying a message that is indispensable at a time when official modes of speaking the truth has suffered a serious loss of credibility. This is the type of book that helps one grow closer to the truth about themselves.
