Mohanty. In this first full-length study of Post-Feminism, Trinh Minh-ha examines post-colonial processes of displacement - cultural hybridizations and decentered realities, fragmented selves and multiple identities, marginal voices and languages of rupture. Working at the intersection of several fields - and langauges of rupture. Wokring at the intersection of sevel fields - women's studie, anthropology, critical cultural studies, literary criticism and feminist theory, she juxtaposes numerous prevailing contemorary discourse in a form that questions the (male-is-norm) literary and theoretical establishment. She incorporates the poetic in the analytic and stays away from the old way of theorizing through systematic dissection, combination, and recapitulation. Trinh discusess questions of language and writing in relation to the notion of ethnicity and feminity; of identity, authenticity, and difference, of commitment sa to the function and role of the woman writer; and of storytelling as one of the oldest forms of building historical consciousness and as a continuing setting into motion of a feminist problematic in the context of a female living tradition Show Less
