Designed
in
1972,
the Afro comb with a clenched fist representing
the Black Power movement has become an iconic symbol that has
transcended time and continents. What many people do not realize
is that this basic form of pick or comb has been around since the time
of the ancient Egyptians. The earliest examples appeared over
6,000
years ago in Egypt and Sudan; their handles were often decorated
with cultural or religious symbols denoting status and cultural
affiliation. More recently, in some West African cultures, hair combs
represent the parting of ways and even friendship, whereas other
cultural groups give combs to prospective lovers or their brides on
their wedding day. This book is the first to be dedicated entirely to
the history of African combs and uses evidence from archaeological
excavations, ethnographic collections, historical sources and oral
testimonies to trace the history of this enigmatic object.
