The aesthetic trademark of figures ranging from Nefertiti to Amy Winehouse, eyeliner is one of our most enduring cosmetic tools; ancient royals and Gen Z beauty influencers alike would attest to its uniquely transformative power. It is undeniably fun-yet it is also far from frivolous. Seen through Zahra Hankir's (kohl-lined) eyes, this ubiquitous but seldom-examined product becomes a portal to history, proof both of the stunning variety among cultures across time and space and of our shared humanity. Through intimate reporting and conversations-with nomads in Chad, geishas in Japan, dancers in India, drag queens in New York, and more-Eyeliner embraces the rich history and significance of its namesake, especially among communities of color. What emerges is an unexpectedly moving portrait of a tool that, in various corners of the globe, can signal religious devotion, attract potential partners, ward off evil forces, shield eyes from the sun, transform faces into fantasies, and communicate volumes without saying a word. Delightful, surprising, and utterly absorbing, Eyeliner is a fascinating tour through streets, stages, and bedrooms around the world, and a thought-provoking reclamation of a key piece of our collective history"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 391.63 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 391.63 Hankir Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books 391.63 Ha Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books 391.63 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 391.63 Ha Checked out 06/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 391.63 Ha Lost 04/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 391.63 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
