Postcolonialism, Feminism and Religious DiscourseLaura E. Donaldson, Pui-lan Kwok Psychology Press, 2002 - 219 pages The study of global religions is being transformed by its engagement with feminist and postcolonial thought. The editors of this volume argue that gender, religion, and colonial conquest are inseparable. Contributors examine white feminist theology's misappropriations of Native North American women, Chinese footbinding, and veiling by Muslim women, as well as the Jewish emancipation in France, the symbolic dismemberment of black women by rap and sermons, and the potential to rewrite and reclaim canonical stories. This important reassessment of religious studies offers new visions for the development of anti-colonialist, anti-racist, and anti-sexist discourses of liberation. |
