Rey Chow is arguably one of the most prominent intellectuals
working in the humanities today. Characteristically confronting
both entrenched and emergent issues in the interlocking fields of
literature, film and visual studies, sexuality and gender,
postcolonialism, ethnicity, and cross-cultural politics, her works
produce surprising connections among divergent topics at the same
time as they compel us to think through the ethical and political
ramifications of our academic, epistemic, and cultural practices.
This anthology - the first to collect key moments in Chow's
engaging thought - provides readers with an ideal introduction to
some of her most forceful theoretical explorations. Organized into
two sections, each of which begins with a brief statement designed
to establish linkages among various discursive fields through
Chow's writings, the anthology also contains an extensive Editor's
Introduction, which situates Chow's work in the context of
contemporary critical debates. For all those pursuing transnational
cultural theory and cultural studies, this book is an essential
resource.
