Winner of the Victor Turner Prize for Ethnographic Writing 2017 Journeying around the globe, through past & present, Emma Tarlo unravels the intriguing story of human hair & what it tells us about ourselves & society. When it`s not attached to your head, your very own hair takes on a disconcerting quality. Suddenly, it is strange. & yet hair finds its way into all manner of unexpected places, far from our heads, including cosmetics, clothes, ropes, personal & public collections, & even food. Whether treated as waste or as gift, relic, sacred offering or product in a billion-dollar industry for wigs & hair extensions, hair has many stories to tell. Collected from Hindu temples & Buddhist nunneries & salvaged by the strand from waste heaps & the combs of long-haired women, hair flows into the industry from many sources. Entering this strange world, Emma Tarlo tracks hair`s movement across India, Myanmar, China, Africa, the United States, Britain & Europe, meeting people whose livelihoods depend on this singular commodity. Whether its journey ends in an Afro hair fair, a Jewish wig parlour, fashion salon or hair loss clinic, hair is oddly revealing of the lives it touches. ...

Stalinism, that particularly brutal phase of communism, came to an end in most of Eastern Europe with the death of Josef Stalin in 1953 or at least with the Khrushchev reforms that began in the Soviet Union in 1956. However, in one country
- Albania
- Stalinism survived virtually unscathed until 1990. The regime that the Albanian dictator Enver Hoxha led from the time of the communist takeover in 1944 until his death in 1985, & that continued unabated under his successor Ramiz Alia until 1990, was incomparably severe. Such was the reign of terror that no audible voice of opposition or dissent ever arose in the Balkan state, a European country that became as isolated from the rest of the world as North Korea is today. When the Albanian communist system finally imploded, it left behind a weary population, frightened & confused after decades of purges & political terror. It also left behind a country with a weak & fragile economy, a country where extreme poverty was the norm. In the decades since Hoxha`s death, Albania has made substantial progress in political & economic terms, yet the spectre of Hoxha still lingers over the country. Despite this, many people
- inside & outside Albania
- know little about the man who ruled the country with an iron fist for so many decades. This book provides the first biography of Enver Hoxha available in English, from his birth in Gjirokast Er in southern Albania, then still under Ottoman rule, to his death in 1985 at the age of 76. Using archival documents & first-hand interviews, Albanian journalist Blendi Fevziu pieces together the life of this tyrannical ruler, in a biography which will be essential reading for anyone interested in Balkan history & communist studies.
