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 colour. What emerges is a delightful, surprising, and unexpectedly moving journey through streets, stages, and bedrooms around the world, and a thought-provoking reclamation of a key piece of our collective history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zahra Hankir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44212637663489,"sku":"9781529920642","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/8600\/8738\/files\/SIMPLEWEBSITEPRODUCTIMAGE-2024-08-06T132427.584.png?v=1722947100","url":"https:\/\/rarebirdsbooks.pro\/products\/eyeliner-a-cultural-history","provider":"Rare Birds Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
