How do the films daughters of the dust set it off and


Question - In Impossible Desires: Queer Diasporas and South Asian Public Cultures, Gayatri Gopinath pays "special attention to queer female subjectivity in the diaspora, as it is this particular positionality that forms a constitutive absence in both dominant nationalist and diasporic discourses" but also "within seemingly radical cultural and political diasporic projects that center a gay male or heterosexual feminist diasporic subject" (6). Gopinath "refuses to accede to the splitting of queerness from feminism that marks such projects" (6). In centering queer female diasporic subjectivity, how do the films Daughters of the Dust, Set It Off, and Saving Face challenge "heteronormative and patriarchal structures of kinship and community" (6)?
