{"product_id":"cha-hak-kyung-theresa-dictee-9780520390485","title":"Dictee","description":"\"Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dictee is both the ancestor and the future of all attempts to remember and rewrite--against the force of being dismembered and rewritten by--colonial\/imperial histories and their reiterative, disfiguring shadows. I have, for that reason, the feeling, maybe also the fear, that neither the experience nor the revelation of it will ever come to an end.\"--Brandon Shimoda, PEN America Literary Award winner and author of The Grave on the Wall\n\u003cp\u003e\"You think you know what a book can do, then you read Dictee. A life is split by it. A text of multiple modes and languages, moving in a staccato accumulation through histories of war and displacement, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's postcolonial classic created ways and privacies where there were none. Unimaginable what literature would be today without it.\"--Solmaz Sharif, author of Customs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Dictee is part memoir, part history, part experimental meditation; a challenging, innovative exploration of Cha's life, her mother's difficult immigrant journey across East Asia and to the United States, the fractured immigrant experience, women warriors, and language itself. . . . An essential work for feminist writers, conceptual artists and Asian American authors and scholars.\"--New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53286672367958,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780520390485_1.jpg?v=1778614887","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/cha-hak-kyung-theresa-dictee-9780520390485","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
