Abstract/Summary
Abstract. Maningning C. Miclat was born in Beijing on April 5, 1972. She was raised in China during the Cultural Revolution where she wrote most of her Chinese poems published under her first collection, Wo De Shi. Returning to the Philippines after the 1986 EDSA Revolution, Maningning traversed back to her roots as a Filipino with her second collection, Voice from the Underworld (2000). Her second book is a phenomenon, such that it is the first and only literary book of poetry written in and translated by the author into three languages-Chinese, English, and Filipino. My thesis is to study Voice from the Underworld in the context of Minh-ha T. Trinh's Woman, Native Other (1989). I examine her poems from the ethnic feminist perspective, how Maningning is interwoven into three overlapping identities-woman, writer, and woman of color.
