A NEW YORK TIMESÂ BEST SELLERÂ â€¢ â€œA must-read...Phoebe Robinson discusses race and feminism in such a funny, real, and specific way, it penetrates your brain and stays with you.â€â€”Ilana Glazer, co-creator and co-star ofÂ Broad City

A hilarious and timely essay collection about race, gender, and pop culture from comedy superstar and 2 Dope Queens podcasterÂ Phoebe Robinson

Being a black woman in America means contending with old prejudices and fresh absurdities every day. Comedian PhoebeÂ Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of â€œthe black friend,â€ as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel (â€œisnâ€™t that...white people music?â€); she's been called â€œuppityâ€ for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she's ready to take these topics to the pageâ€”and sheâ€™s going to make you laugh as sheâ€™s doing it.

Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is â€œQueen. Bae. Jesus,â€ to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, 2 Dope Queens, to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, You Can't Touch My Hair examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise.
