A classic book by Minh-ha, a prolific and influential artist, writer, filmmaker, and poet whose work is one of the exemplary examples of a practice that crosses disciplinary boundaries and challenges hierarchies in its engagement with feminist, postcolonial, cultural theory, anthropological, and literary discourses. Here Minh-ha considers womens’ writing as a way of unsettling the patriarchal literary establishment, pointing to how their writings on postcolonial displacement, fragmented and multiple identities, difference, and the transgressive use of language provide a challenge to the established cannon, in terms of both form and content.
