Colonizers imposed Christianity and biblical codes upon their
conquered subjects. In the waning of imperialism the newly emerging
peoples employed these same biblical codes as their cries for
freedom and justice as they drove out their former masters. This
collection of twelve essays exposes this tool of oppression as a
tool of justice in works from Latin American, Native American,
African, and Middle Eastern authors. Drawing on a variety of
theological perspectives, including liberation theology, feminist
theology, and the Reformed tradition, the contributors examine
works by a number of international authors. Represented are works
by Ernesto Cardenal (Nicaragua), Gabrial Garcia Marquez (Columbia),
Isabel Allende (Chile), Julio Cartazar (Argentina), Nicholas Black
Elk and Charles Eastman (United States), Chinua Achebe (Nigeria),
Ngugi wa Thiong'o (Kenya), Andre Brink (South Africa), and Edward
Said (Palestine), and others. These writers from postcolonial lands
express readings of individual biblical texts as well as
theoretical discussion of such issues as the challenge biblical
justice makes to poststructualism, the tensions in synthesizing
Christianity and indigenous cultures, and the ethical dilemmas
faced by writers opposing unjustice. This collection serves as a
celebration of the diversity of postcolonial literature.
