A NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER * “A must-read...Phoebe Robinson discusses race and feminism in such a funny, real, and specific way, it penetrates your brain and stays with you.”-Ilana Glazer, co-creator and co-star of Broad CityA hilarious and timely essay collection about race, gender, and pop culture from comedy superstar and 2 Dope Queens podcaster Phoebe RobinsonBeing a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian Phoebe Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: shes been unceremoniously relegated to the role of “the black friend,” as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; shes been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel (“isn’t that...white people music?”); shes been called “uppity” for having an opinion in the workplace; shes been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, shes ready to take these topics to the page-and she’s going to make you laugh as she’s doing it.Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is “Queen. Bae. Jesus,” to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, 2 Dope Queens, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, You Cant Touch My Hair examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise.One of Glamours “Top 10 Books of 2016” Review Praise for You Can’t Touch My HairFeatured in NPR Weekend Edition, New York Magazine, Refinery 29, and Cosmo“A must-read...Phoebe Robinson discusses race and feminism in such a funny, real, and specific way, it penetrates your brain and stays with you.”-Ilana Glazer, co-creator and co-star of Broad City“Phoebe Robinson has a way of casually, candidly rough-housing with tough topics like race and sex and gender that makes you feel a little safer and a lot less alone.
