But it doesn't surprise me, being that South Africa holds fast to the most Eurocentric ideal of beauty out of most of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Check out the short non-fiction story “Afro-Kinky Human Hair” by Meri Nana-Ama Danquah in Greg Tate's Everything But The Burden.<br /><br />BTW...who is the girl in the photo?! Stunning!

It's bad enough that adults in the states have a hard time with jobs and natural hair (whether it be outright not getting hired, warned about "unprofessional hair choices" or even just being made uncomfortable for choosing to go natural. However, I can't imagine a child being punished for making the decision to embrace her natural hair and rock locs... and in Africa of all places?!? I couldn't believe this story.
