Rey Chow is one of the most prominent intellectuals working in the humanities today. She contributes to as many disciplines as she weaves into her elegantly structured, comparative critiques, and her ever-expanding oeuvre confronts the interlocking and overlapping fields of film, sex, gender, ethnography, postcolonialism, visual culture, cultural studies, and Asian society and politics. Chow's essays connect topics as dissimilar as ethnic mothers and dinosaurs, avant-garde film and the politics of ethnicity, and high theory and area studies. The first anthology to gather and situate Chow's vitally relevant, transnational thought, this collection not only introduces readers to Chow's most important theoretical explorations but also serves as an ideal entry point into the fields she transforms.
