In this first full-length study, Trinh Minh-ha examines post-colonial processes of displacement -- cultural hybridization and decentered realities, fragmented selves and multiple identities, marginal voices and languages of rupture. Working at the intersection of several fields -- women's studies, anthropology, critical cultural studies, literary criticism, and feminist theory, she juxtaposes numerous prevailing contemporary discourses in a form that questions the (male-is-norm) literary and theoretical establishment."--Back cover Analysis Difference (Psychology) in literature Feminism and literature History 20th century Literature Women authors History and criticism Literature, Modern History and criticism 20th century Women Developing countries Women and literature History 20th century Critical cultural studies Postcolonial studies Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 161-168) and index Notes Master and use copy.
