Description
New Summer Must Reads from Harper's Bazaar - 'ON FIRE - in RED: A History of the
Redhead, author Jacky Colliss Harvey.... examines age-old portrayals and notions about
redheads in art, science and religion.' US Vogue, June 2015: 'The magnetic appeal of red hair... is
the subject of a fascinating new book, RED: A History of the Redhead, by Jacky Colliss Harvey -
herself one of the tribe.''A beautiful book - gorgeous cover, beautifully designed... [and] really
fascinating and interesting.' Book Riot, June 10, 2015 Elle Magazine '....to call the book merely a
history doesn't seem to cover the manifold angles woven into the text. Harvey's intelligent
exploration accomplishes the sought-after end of achieving universality from specificity... Red is an
important, fascinating read for redheads--and others--everywhere.'Â Booklist Online, 1 June
2015: 'Witty, wide-ranging study... comprehensive and thoroughly enjoyable'... this witty,
wide-ranging study examines red hair through the lenses of art, literature, science, sexuality,
culture, religion, and politics. Fascinating facts abound.... Old wives' tales, scientific discoveries,
historical accounts, fads in fashion, and trends in the arts are mined to great effect, resulting in a
comprehensive and thoroughly enjoyable narrative embellished with stunning illustrations and
photographs.' The Washington Post: 'engaging... light-hearted but erudite history, relevant even
to readers who have never tried to get away with calling their hair 'Titian'.'According to Grant
McCracker, author of Big Hair: A Journey into The Transformation of Self (1995), 'The study of hair
does not take you to the superficial edges of our society... It takes you, instead, to the center of
things.' In Red, Harvey drills down to that center to find a mother lode of lore and more about the
hair color found in just two per cent of the world's population. Beginning with our earliest ancestors
and continuing down through the ages, this witty, wide-ranging study examines red hair through
the lenses of art, literature, science, sexuality, culture, religion and politics. Fascinating facts
abound. For example, we learn that the gene for red hair did not originate in Ireland or Scotland,
as we might expect, but in the people who migrated from Africa to the grasslands of central Asia
and, eventually, into Europe. Old wives' tales, scientific discoveries, historical accounts, fads in
fashion, and trends in the arts are mined to great effect, resulting in a comprehensive and
thoroughly enjoyable narrative embellished with stunning illustrations and photographs.―Carolyn
Mulac, BooklistWhat did Mark Twain and Mary Magdalene have in common with the author of
this book? Red hair. Harvey uses her hair color as a lens to explore the history of mankind. She
starts by detailing how some stray red-hair genes in Africa made their way across the planet,
