This book addresses a fundamental reality of our time: the great
movement of people, for a variety of reasons, within and across
countries and cultures. From this migration has emerged the
'diasporic intellectual': the state of dislocation and displacement
has become a vantage point for reflection and interpretation. The
same is true of theological studies in general and biblical
criticism in particular. In this masterly treatment, Fernando
Segovia focuses on the emerging transborder biblical interpreters
from the Two-Thirds World now residing and working in the West,
both in the United States and in Europe, and examines their
multiple identities. He also explores how this state of
'in-betweenness' and homesickness affects, influences and informs
biblical interpretation.
