Kheshti follows Hurston's travels across the back woods of Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana as a filmmaker and sensory ethnographer of the African diasporic spiritual practice of hoodoo. Through her travels, Hurston encountered a sensibility that could animate the object status of \u003ci\u003ebeing colored\u003c\/i\u003e with the power of a return gaze. Kheshti considers both how Hurston poetically exploited the synesthetic logic at the heart of race thinking--being colored--and how her embodied performance ethnography catalogued an outside to that logic. \u003ci\u003eWe See with the Skin\u003c\/i\u003e is an original mapping of Hurston's synesthetic theory and its broader implications for understanding minoritarian perception and thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoshanak Kheshti is Professor of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.
