This is the first volume to provide a wide range of postcolonial
interpretations of and commentaries upon significant texts in the
Hebrew Bible. The volume intersects with the work of the key
theorists in postcolonial studies such as Fanon, Senghor, Said and
Spivak as well as with scholars such as Sugirtharajah, Kwok
Pui-lan, and Segovia who have applied this theory to biblical
studies. Texts have been chosen specifically for their relevance to
postcolonial discourse, rather than seeking to cover each biblical
document. This volume is designed to demonstrate how historical
criticism, postmodernism, and the important concerns of
postcolonial readings may be integrated to obtain an informed
explanation of the Hebrew Bible and the writings of early Judaism.
The chapters are written by scholars who represent a spectrum of
national, indigenous, and diasporic contexts. Taken together these
perspectives and the interpretations they yield represent a
continued expansion of the manner in which Old Testament texts are
read and interpreted through postcolonial lenses, reminding readers
that the interpretive trajectories of these texts are almost
inexhaustible. As such the volume serves as not only an addition to
ongoing scholarship on postcolonialism but also as an expansion of
the horizon for dialogue.
