| Abstract | This paper examines the racialized commoditization of human hair in 1960s-70s India. It asks how hair was transformed as it moved from pilgrim's head to barber's fingers to bronze donation urn to temple coffers and on into the wig factories of Chennai. And it analyzes how those transformations were shaped by legal, religious, political, and economic forces across Asia and the globe. |
