New Literary Studies titles from Columbia University Press

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