Scottsville, South Africa : University of KwaZulu-Natal Press, 2006. xvii, 149 pages Colour illustrations, portraits 25 cm Includes bibliographical references (pages 144-149). This book is an extraordinary mix of glamour, nostalgia and social analysis. It takes the reader on a journey through our South African history and politics from the unusual perspective of the beauty industry. Backed by a photo gallery of classic icons from the 50s, 60s and 70s to present, it celebrates the inspirational role of the beautiful and courageous Black women, especially models and beauty queens. It also looks at the business of beauty and recounts the struggles and successes of Black practitioners trying to make it in this competitive sector. The author is someone who herself was a leading model of the 80s. Nakedi Ribane co-owned one of the very few Black modeling agencies of note in South Africa. She is ideally placed to offer a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at one of the most under-rated yet influential industries of our time. (Publisher).
