This is a very beautiful book, replete with the insightful essays that the topic demands. It will change the way you think about colour. In a brilliant paradox, it challenges the very existence of colours only to bring colour back into the centre of human lives. This volume weaves an argument that cuts across history, art and time; Howard Morphy, Distinguished Professor, Australian National University College of Arts & Social Sciences;Rematerializing Colour leaves any understanding of colour as an add-on or surface phenomenon behind. Embracing colours as dynamic, transformative materialities inherent to a multitude of experiences, environments and things, and to the formation of subjectivitiesand collective identities, contributors' essays are centred upon colours' mutable, palpable,excessive and affectively charged capacities and effects;Patricia Spyer, Professor of Anthropology & Sociology,The Graduate Institute, Geneva.
