Reviews
"Collier's book is of particular interest to art historians, historians, media scholars, and cultural theorists for its conceptual framing, applied methodological approaches, and interpretative analysis. Collier offers new conceptual and methodological strategies for situating contemporary African art within longer histories of colonization and decolonization."-- H-Net Reviews "In addition to telling a fascinating story, Collier's book will no doubt furnish scholars from a variety of areas with substantial food for thought, if not concrete models for approaching their own research."-- Anlise Social "A unique insight into the limits of postcolonial escape from colonial structures of inequality and appropriations."-- Journal of Asian and African Studies "Collier debunks the developmental model that underpins media theory and modernist teleologies, habitually framing ideas of the medium along a narrative of innovation and obsolescence that is driven by technology and markets."-- Oxford Art Journal, " Repainting the Walls of Lunda reimagines how we write histories of post-colonial Africa, encouraging us to pay close attention to the material legacies of coloniality and modernization processes, and offering us a much-needed look at the complex entanglements of media with colonial/postcolonial and cold war narratives."--Elizabeth Harney, University of Toronto, "Collier's book is of particular interest to art historians, historians, media scholars, and cultural theorists for its conceptual framing, applied methodological approaches, and interpretative analysis. Collier offers new conceptual and methodological strategies for situating contemporary African art within longer histories of colonization and decolonization."-- H-Net Reviews

Synopsis
Chronicling thepublication and dissemination of the anthropology book Paredes Pintadas daLunda (Painted Walls of Lunda), Delinda Collier analyzes two-dimensional imagesof the Chokwe peoples of northeastern Angola and their subsequent formats, frompostindependent canvas paintings to Internet images. Collier argues that thelogic of reproductive media envelops the past: each mediation adds anotherlayer of context and content., Repainting the Walls of Lunda chronicles the publication and dissemination of an anthropology book, Paredes Pintadas da Lunda (Painted Walls of Lunda) , which was published in Portuguese in 1953. The book featured illustrations of wall murals and sand drawings of the Chokwe peoples of northeastern Angola. These reproductions were adapted in postindependence Angolan nationalist art and post-civil war contemporary art. As Delinda Collier recounts, the pictorial narrative foregrounds the complex relationships between content, distribution, and politicization. The result is a nuanced look at the practices of art entangled in political economies as much as in issues of aesthetics. After historicizing the drastic changes in media for the Chokwe images, from sand and dwelling to book and from analog to digital, Collier analyzes the formal and infrastructural logic of the two-dimensional images in their subsequent formats, from postindependence canvas paintings to Internet images. Collier does not view any of these iterations as a negation or obliteration of the previous one. Instead, she argues that the logic of reproductive media envelops the past: each mediation adds another layer of context and content. As Collier sees it, the images' historicity is embedded within these media layers, which many Angolan postindependence artists speak of in terms of ghosts or ancestors when describing their encounter with reproductions of the Chokwe art. If, as Collier contends, "Africa troubles media," this book troubles facile theories and romantic constructions of "analog Africa," boundaries between art and cybernetics, and the firewall between the colonial and the postcolonial.
