Book Presentation:
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.

About the Author:
Audrey Yue is professor of ahead of cinema and cultural studies at University of Melbourne.

Press Reviews:
With due emphases on diasporic intimacies, cine-feminism, and transcultural literacy, Audrey Yue has written a sensitive and lucid study, doing justice to a remarkable film by a remarkable director. (Rey Chow, Duke University)
