College Curriculum at the Crossroads Women of Color Reflect and Resist

College Curriculum at the Crossroads Women of Color Reflect and Resist

College Curriculum at the Crossroads explores the ways in which college curriculum is complicated informed understood resisted and enriched by women of color. This text challenges the canon of curriculum development which foregrounds the experiences of white people men and other dominant subject positions. By drawing on Black Latina Queer and Transnational feminism the text disrupts hegemonic curricular practices in post-secondary education. This collection is relevant to current conversation within higher education which looks to curriculum to aid in the development of a more tolerant and just citizenry. Women of color have long theorized the failures of injustice and the promise of inclusion; as such this text rightly positions women of color as true experts in the field. Across a variety of approaches from reflections on personal experience to application of critical scholarship the authors in this collection explore the potency of women of color’s presence with/in college curriculum and emphasize a dire need for women of color’s voices at the center of the academic process. | College Curriculum at the Crossroads Women of Color Reflect and Resist

The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800

The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800

Although much has been written on the aesthetic value of color there are other values that adhere to it with economic and social values among them. Through case studies of particular colors and colored objects this volume demonstrates just how complex the history of color is by focusing on the diverse social and cultural meanings of color; the trouble pain and suffering behind the production and application of these colors; the difficult technical processes for making and applying color; and the intricacy of commercial exchanges and knowledge transfers as commodities and techniques moved from one region to another. By emphasizing color's materiality the way in which it was produced exchanged and used by artisans artists and craftspersons contributors draw attention to the disjuncture between the beauty of color and the blood sweat and tears that went into its production circulation and application as well as to the complicated and varied social meanings attached to color within specific historical and social contexts. This book captures color's global history with chapters on indigo plantations in India and the American South cochineal production in colonial Oaxaca the taste for brightly colored Chinese objects in Europe and the thriving trade in vermilion between Europeans and Native Americans. To underscore the complexity of the technical knowledge behind color production there are chapters on the 'discovery' of Prussian blue Brazilian feather techné and wallpaper production. To sound the depths of color's capacity for social and cultural meaning-making there are chapters that explore the significance of black ink in Shakespeare's sonnets red threads in women's needlework samplers blues in Mayan sacred statuary and greens and yellows in colored glass bracelets that were traded across the Arabian desert in the late Middle Ages. The purpose of this book is to recover color's complex-and sometimes morally troubling-past and in doing so to restore a sense of wonder and appreciation for our colorful world. With its nuanced and complex depiction of how color operated within local contexts and moved across the globe this book will appeal to art historians social and cultural historians museum curators literary scholars rhetoric scholars and historians of science and technology. | The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800
