Analysing the transformation in beliefs and practices relating to black beauty in the 1960s and pre-Civil Rights Movement and later black beauty pageants, Ain't I A Beauty Queen? goes into beauty parlours, late-night political meetings, and college campus organisations to study how black women were symbols and participants in the reshaping of black racial identity.
