Description

This book examines "Song of the Exile" as diasporic cinema. As text, its practices of diasporic intimacy challenge the exilic myths of home and return. As genre, its use of postcolonial feminist autobiography articulates an alternative Hong Kong history. As pedagogy, its border practices enable the teaching of transcultural literacy.
