Communities of Resistance: Welfare Queens and the Infrapolitics of Black Hair Tutorials on YoutubeJohnson, ReAndra 01 January 2017 (has links)
The author raises the question of what black women do to resist acts taken by the government to control their bodies such as the welfare queen trope. Many authors demonstrate that the welfare queen is used to control black women as a labor force as well as their reproduction. An infrapolitical reading of black hair tutorials is done to analyze the ways that black hair care is a form of political resistance. Robin Kelley's use of infrapolitics to understand actions taken by working class black people is used as a model.
