Book Synopsis Mind Your Colour by : Vernie A. February
Download or read book Mind Your Colour written by Vernie A. February and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1991 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mind Your Colour is about the creation and maintenance of a cultural stereotype. It deals with the people classified by South African racial legislation as 'coloureds', and with the image forced upon them by South African society, an image which reflects and reinforces the political subordination of the group. Dr February examines the 'coloured' stereotype in English, Afrikaans and Dutch literature, suggesting that it has served as a means of social control and repression. From the first unflattering historical depiction of the Khoi to the work of contemporary writers, the picture ranges from the comically distorted to ambiguity and near-kinship, culminating in 'coloured' youngsters embracing the Black Consciousness cause in 1976. But as political consciousness has grown among the 'coloureds', the general picture has become less favourable. Dr February considers in detail Afrikaans authors and novels which deal specifically with the problem of the 'coloureds'. His central thesis is that their work has done much to shape Afrikaner attitudes towards black people: the late Dr Donges cited the work of Regina Neser and Sarah Gertrude Millin in support of his law to prohibit 'sex across the colour line' in 1948. In Dr February's words, this book is 'an attempt to hold a mirror to South Africa's dirty face,' to show up the 'coloured' image as an artificial stereotype.

Download or read book The Secret Lives of Colour written by Kassia St Clair and published by John Murray. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A mind-expanding tour of the world without leaving your paintbox. Every colour has a story, and here are some of the most alluring, alarming, and thought-provoking. Very hard painting the hallway magnolia after this inspiring primer.' Simon Garfield The Secret Lives of Colour tells the unusual stories of the 75 most fascinating shades, dyes and hues. From blonde to ginger, the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, Picasso's blue period to the charcoal on the cave walls at Lascaux, acid yellow to kelly green, and from scarlet women to imperial purple, these surprising stories run like a bright thread throughout history. In this book Kassia St Clair has turned her lifelong obsession with colours and where they come from (whether Van Gogh's chrome yellow sunflowers or punk's fluorescent pink) into a unique study of human civilisation. Across fashion and politics, art and war, The Secret Lives of Colour tell the vivid story of our culture.
Book Synopsis The Brilliant History of Color in Art by : Victoria Finlay
Download or read book The Brilliant History of Color in Art written by Victoria Finlay and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of art is inseparable from the history of color. And what a fascinating story they tell together: one that brims with an all-star cast of characters, eye-opening details, and unexpected detours through the annals of human civilization and scientific discovery. Enter critically acclaimed writer and popular journalist Victoria Finlay, who here takes readers across the globe and over the centuries on an unforgettable tour through the brilliant history of color in art. Written for newcomers to the subject and aspiring young artists alike, Finlay’s quest to uncover the origins and science of color will beguile readers of all ages with its warm and conversational style. Her rich narrative is illustrated in full color throughout with 166 major works of art—most from the collections of the J. Paul Getty Museum. Readers of this book will revel in a treasure trove of fun-filled facts and anecdotes. Were it not for Cleopatra, for instance, purple might not have become the royal color of the Western world. Without Napoleon, the black graphite pencil might never have found its way into the hands of Cézanne. Without mango-eating cows, the sunsets of Turner might have lost their shimmering glow. And were it not for the pigment cobalt blue, the halls of museums worldwide might still be filled with forged Vermeers. Red ocher, green earth, Indian yellow, lead white—no pigment from the artist’s broad and diverse palette escapes Finlay’s shrewd eye in this breathtaking exploration.

Book Synopsis Snow on the Cane Fields by : Judith L. Raiskin
Download or read book Snow on the Cane Fields written by Judith L. Raiskin and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snow on the Cane Fields was first published in 1995. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. In a probing analysis of creole women's writing over the past century, Judith Raiskin explores the workings and influence of cultural and linguistic colonialism. Tracing the transnational and racial meanings of creole identity, Raiskin looks at four English-speaking writers from South Africa and the Caribbean: Olive Schreiner, Jean Rhys, Michelle Cliff, and Zoë Wicomb. She examines their work in light of the discourses of their times: nineteenth-century "race science" and imperialistic rhetoric, turn-of-the-century anti-Semitic sentiment and feminist pacifism, postcolonial theory, and apartheid legislation. In their writing and in their multiple identities, these women highlight the gendered nature of race, citizenship, culture, and the language of literature. Raiskin shows how each writer expresses her particular ambivalences and divided loyalties, both enforcing and challenging the proprietary British perspective on colonial history, culture, and language. A new perspective on four writers and their uneasy places in colonial culture, Snow on the Cane Fields reveals the value of pursuing a feminist approach to questions of national, political, and racial identity. Judith Raiskin is assistant professor of women's studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
