Are You Hip to Hairism? Camille and Mavis Marconi are identical twins with un-identical hair. Camille wears hers straight while Mavis prefers an Afro, and in 1973 your hairstyle can say a lot about you. Mavis believes a shampoo company's model search for straight-haired girls discriminates against Afros so she sets out to prove it by entering the contest. Of course, Camille thinks her sister is tripping, so when Herbal Excellence chooses her as a finalist and not Mavis, the debate of duplicates is on The girls disagree on just about everything, including whether Julius Barron, the love of Camille's life, will notice that she's alive if she wins. So before the contest, they switch places in school only to discover that 'hairism' not only affects their classmates, but misconceptions based on appearances can have unexpected effects. What readers are saying: "This was a funny novel centred on the friendship and rivalry between twins...A really important principle is explored. People should be proud of their cultural heritage and deserve to get a similar level of recognition as anyone else, no matter what their ethnic origin." - R. Evans
