Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Politics of Global Soul with Dr. Tanisha C. Ford

<p>The paradox of clothing is that it can be at once the most public and the most personal of items a person can use to express their identity historically and today, a dichotomy found throughout the work of today's guest Dr. Tanisha C. Ford. She joins us for part one of a two part discussion on her books Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul (2015), and her recently released memoir Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl’s Letter to the Power of Fashion (2019).</p><p><strong>More on Dr. Ford</strong>:</p><ul><li><a href="http://www.tanishacford.com/">http://www.tanishacford.com</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Additional Reading</strong>:</p><ul><li>Kwame Brathwaite: Black is Beautiful</li></ul><p> </p> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a> Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/dressed-the-history-of-fashion/donations
