Book Reviews of Dreads
Book Review: Every picture tells a story
Summary: 5 Stars
It was wonderful to meet each person photographed in this book through their stories. Whether they allowed their locks to tangle and grow for religious beliefs, rebellious causes, or simply as a fashion statement, each person shines through the beautiful photographs. I applaud the photographer and writer for presenting a remarkable array of individuals and telling their stories for the world.
Summary of Dreads
Dreadlocks are a modern phenomenon with roots reaching as far back as the fifth century. According to ancient Hindu beliefs, dreads signified a singleminded pursuit of the spiritual. Devotion to God displaced vanity, and hair was left to its own devices.Dreads captures this organic explosion of hair in all its beautiful, subversive glory. One hundred duotone portraits present dread-heads from around the world, in all walks of life. Interviewed on location by the photographers, jatta-wearers wax philosophic about the integrity of their hair, and every stunning image confirms their choice. Alice Walker puts words to pictures, offering lyrical ruminations about her decision to let her own mane mat.
