For Glen M. Mimura, Asian American cinema is the spectral return of
the international film movement known as Third Cinema. Tracing
contemporary Asian American cinema as a continuation of Third
Cinema's radical enterprise of making marginalized subjects visible
in the First World, Ghostlife of Third Cinema examines such potent
issues as diasporic identity, historical memory, and queer sexuality
through sophisticated readings of a wide range of film and video
projects.
"Ghostlife of Third Cinema is a learned, beautifully written study,
nothing less than a revisioning of U.S. history through the optic of
Asian American visual representation." -Lisa Lowe, University of
California, San Diego
Glen M. Mimura is associate professor of film and media and Asian
American studies at the University of California, Irvine.
