Candid, witty, and insightful, Naked is a provocative collection of essays that captures what today's African-American women think about their bodies-from head to toe. In it, black women of all ages, sizes, hues, and backgrounds share their thoughts on such issues as hair texture, skin color, weight, and sexuality, in a world that may sometimes find their distinctive features "too African" or even sometimes not quite "Black enough." Naked follows these women on their paths toward embracing their beauty and loving the skin they're in no matter how big or small their butts, how dark or light their skin, or how kinky or straight their hair.
