DEVELOPING
GUIDELINES ON HENNA:
A GEOGRAPHICAL APPROACH by Catherine Cartwright-Jones This work was filed to complete her Master of Liberal Studies degree at Kent State Univeristy, Kent, Ohio under the direction of Dr. Alison Smith PhD.  Though many anthropologists and botanists have mentioned henna tangentially, there is currently no systematic study of the history, traditions, art and science of henna. This paper proposes that there is a need for an orderly investigation of henna because there are conflicting claims of ethnic ownership of henna, and misunderstanding of what henna body art is and how it is created. This has caused injuries, and import seizures of henna, as well as unfounded popular speculation about henna. In “Developing Guidelines on Henna, A Geographical Approach”, I propose constructing criterion for investigating henna, so that both modern and ancient evidence of henna body art can be systematically evaluated and mapped into geographic contexts. This would enable the study of early henna body art, poorly understood at present and usually dismissed as “lost in the mists of time”. This would also enable analysis of changing geographic patterns of henna during periods of immigration, cultural and climatic change. I hope this will initiate an orderly investigation of the history, science and legal status of an ephemeral art: henna.
