About the Author

Trinh T. Minh-ha is a renowned Vietnamese-born filmmaker, writer, and composer whose interdisciplinary work explores the intersections of culture, identity, gender, and postcolonialism. Born in Vietnam and educated in the United States and France, she has taught at institutions such as the University of California, Berkeley, and San Francisco Art Institute, where her innovative approaches to feminism and ethnography have influenced generations of scholars and artists. Through her writings, she challenges Western epistemological frameworks, blending personal narrative with theoretical insight to illuminate the voices of marginalized communities. Her seminal book, When the Moon Waxes Red, exemplifies this by weaving essays on representation, exile, and the poetics of resistance, offering profound reflections on the complexities of diaspora and cultural hybridity in a globalized world.
