World-renowned filmmaker and feminist, postcolonial thinker
Trinh T. Minh-ha is one of the most powerful and articulate voices
in both independent filmmaking and cultural politics.
Elsewhere, Within Here is an engaging look at travel across
national borders--as a foreigner, a tourist, an immigrant, a
refugee in a pre- and post-9/11 world. Who is welcome where? What
does it mean to feel out of place in the country you call home?
When does the stranger appear in these times of dark metamorphoses?
These are some of the issues addressed by the author as she
examines the cultural meaning and complexities of travel,
immigration, home and exile. The boundary, seen both as a material
and immaterial event, is where endings pass into beginnings.
Building upon themes present in her earlier work on hybridity and
displacement in the median passage, and illuminating the ways in
which "every voyage can be said to involve a re-siting of
boundaries," Trinh T. Minh-ha leads her readers through an
investigation of what it means to be an insider and an outsider in
this "epoch of global fear."
Elsewhere, Within Here is essential reading for those interested
in contemporary feminist thought and postcolonial studies.
Trinh T. Minh-ha is Professor of Rhetoric and of Gender and
Women's Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. A
leading feminist theorist, award-winning filmmaker, visual artist,
writer, composer, cultural critic, she is the author of several
influential and highly regarded books, including When the Moon
Waxes Red, Framer Framed, Cinema-Interval, and The Digital Film
Event, all published by Routledge.
