Abstract

In this essay I analyze the way in which the representation of hair, the part of the body chosen by Djaimilia Pereira de Almeida to be the focal point of her novel Esse cabelo (2015), enables a dialog among questions of gender, sexuality, class, race and ethnicity in Post-colonial Portugal.
