    Trinh T. Minh-Ha

    "This unusual book is recommended, even for those who have had no opportunity to view Minh-Ha's films. She is a critic and theorist whose ideas emerge in her art: the best proof of their viability." -- Choice
    "...playful, provacative and full of surprises." -- Quarterly Journal of Speech
