Heavy is the Head That Wears the Crown: Black Men’s Perspective on Harmful Effects of Black Women’s Hair Product Use and Breast Cancer Risk
Racial disparities in breast cancer are well-documented, and Black women assume a disproportionate burden of breast cancer mortality. Black women also commonly use hair products containing endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) more often at an increased rate, as compared to other racial/ethnic groups. Emerging findings have reported the use of hair and other personal care products containing EDCs may contribute to breast cancer risk. While some s…
My crown and glory: Community, identity, culture, and Black women’s concerns of hair product-related breast cancer risk
Breast cancer (BC) incidence rates for Black and non-Hispanic White women have recently converged; however, Black women continue to die at higher rates from the disease. Black women also use hair products containing hormonally active chemicals at higher rates than other races and ethnic groups. Studies now link chemical components in hair and personal care products to breast cancer risk. Using a community-based participatory research approach, th…
Le quatri me c t du triangle , or Squaring the Sex: A Genetic Approach to the ?Black Continent? in Sony Labou Tansi's Fiction
Passionate Engagements: A Reading of Sony Labou Tansi's Private Ancestral Shrine
To an uninitiated reader, Sony Labou Tansi's novels may seem full of humor and wit. He has a wonderfully irreverent way with words but his irony does have an edge to it.

The consequences of dictat…
Sony Labou Tansi: From Archive to Corpus
Sony Labou Tansi died in 1995. In the few years since his death scholarship on his work has already had to face many issues and conflicts. With this set of papers we have tried to problematize what we see as a transition from archive to corpus. To begin with, the collection of his papers would be the production of an archive. Sony was a very generous person and tended to give his manuscripts away to friends and acquaintances. Sometimes this produ…
Gide's Africa
From the rise of an Africanist discourse in France during the mid-nineteenth century, Western representations of Africa have imagined a continent that has little to do to with an historical, social, or geographical reality.' Such idealized representations, shaped by Western imaginations and desires, have most often reflected the prevailing commonplaces of the period. The gesture of reaching out toward an exotic Other has brought the West face to …
