In this book, theologian Letty Russell redefines the commonly
held notion of hospitality as she challenges her readers to
consider what it means to welcome the stranger. In doing so, she
implores persons of faith to join the struggles for justice.
Rather than an act of limited, charitable welcome, Russell
maintains that true hospitality is a process that requires
partnership with the "other" in our divided world. The goal is
"just hospitality," that is, hospitality with justice.
Russell draws on feminist and postcolonial thinking to show how
we are colonized and colonizing, each of us bearing the marks of
the history that formed us. With an insightful analysis of the
power dynamics that stem from our differences and a constructive
theological theory of difference itself, Russell proposes concrete
strategies to create a more just practice of hospitality.
