Rey Chow is arguably one of the most prominent intellectuals working in the humanities today. Characteristically confronting both entrenched & emergent issues in the interlocking fields of literature, film & visual studies, sexuality & gender, postcolonialism, ethnicity, & cross-cultural politics, her works produce surprising connections among divergent topics at the same time as they compel us to think through the ethical & political ramifications of our academic, epistemic, & cultural practices. 

This anthology - the first to collect key moments in Chow's engaging thought - provides readers with an ideal introduction to some of her most forceful theoretical explorations. Organized into two sections, each of which begins with a brief statement designed to establish linkages among various discursive fields through Chow's writings, the anthology also contains an extensive Editor's Introduction, which situates Chow's work in the context of contemporary critical debates. For all those pursuing transnational cultural theory and cultural studies, this book is an essential resource.
