- This 407 page book is the result of a complex multi-cited project on a secretive and little-researched topic -the human hair trade. Research combined fieldwork in India, China, Senegal, Myanmar, UK and USA with analysis of a diverse range of archival sources. Considerable time and energy were invested in analysing a wide range of historic material, conducting fieldwork in difficult to access milieu such as Chinese factories, Indian temples, orthodox Jewish salons and hair loss clinics and bringing together insights in the form of an experimental work of anthropological nonfiction that is broad in scope yet intimate in ethnographic detail.
