When the Moon Waxes Red by Trinh T Minh-Ha

In this collection of provocative essays on Third World art and culture, filmmaker and theorist Trinh Minh-ha offers new challenges to Western regimes of knowledge.

"Regardless of the structure in which she is writing, Trinh's language has the beauty and precision of poetry, her criticisms the clarity and focus of a well-directed filmBut it is her methodology that is most unusual and innovative. As she works with theorizations of displacement and representation to develop and explain her own theses about difference and marginalization, she displaces her critical view so that it may simultaneously examine the assumptions underlying and informing those theorizations." -- L'Esprit Createur
"A wonderful book. . ." -- Library Journal

Trinh Minh-ha is Chancellors' Distinguished Professor in Women's Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, and Associate Professor of Cinema at San Francisco State University. Among her films is SurnameViet Given Name Nam. She is the author of Women, Native,Other: Writing Postcoloniality and Feminism and, most recently, has coedited Out There: Marginalization inContemporary Culture.
