Answer:
In an example discussed in the text, Elizabeth Chin claims that when African American girls in New Haven, Connecticut, give their white dolls hairstyles like their own, they are engaging in a form of resistance. They are challenging the mainstream cultural standards that suggest that white hair is more beautiful or desirable than black hair, and asserting their own cultural identity and sense of beauty. By transforming the appearance of the dolls to better reflect their own experience and cultural norms, they are creating a representation of beauty that is more inclusive and reflective of their own identity.
