These essays emerge from different crucial and complex conflicts:
from the memory of a bishop, Bartolome de las Casas, urging the
pope of his time to cleanse the church of complicity with violence,
oppression, and slavery; from the lament and defiance of so many
Middle Eastern women, victims of male domination and too many wars;
from the voices bursting out from the colonial margins that dare to
question and transgress the norms and laws imposed by colonizers
and conquerors; from the emerging and diverse theological
disruptions of traditional orthodoxies and rigid dogmatisms; from
the denial of human rights to immigrant communities, living in the
shadows of opulent societies; from the use of the sacred Hebrew
Scriptures to displace and dispossess the indigenous peoples of
Palestine. The essays belong to different intellectual genres and
conceptual crossroads and are thus illustrative of the dialogic
imagination that the Russian intellectual Mikhail Bakhtin
considered basic to any serious intellectual enterprise.They are
also the literary sediment of years of sharing lectures, dialogues,
and debates in several academic institutions in the United States,
Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Malaysia, Switzerland,
Germany, and Palestine.
