REVISITING POSTCOLONIAL FEMINISM AND THEOLOGY: A LITERATURE REVIEW
Journal Title: Asian Journal Social Sciences & Humanities - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The postcolonial ethos, especially in terms of its association with feminism, calls for an increased focus on the role religion essentially plays in shaping up the lives and situations of women. The author, in this paper, tends to cover the diverse yet unified strands which characterize the feminist postcolonial theology as a new but so far over looked paradigm. The paper is a review of the most prominent scholarship which is mainly produced by theorists belonging to regions that have survived colonialism. Beginning from the subaltern disposition and passing through the ideal of ‘difference’ as upheld by Indian postcolonial feminists, the journey will finally culminate in theology, as a means of either emancipation or suppression for the living experiences of the women from postcolonial and Middle Eastern societies.
