MisReading America presents original research on and conversation
about reading formations in American communities of color, using
the phenomenon of the reading of scriptures-''scripturalizing''-as
an analytical wedge. Scriptures here are understood as shorthand
for complex social phenomena, practices, and dynamics. The authors
take up scripturalizing as a window onto the self-understandings,
politics, practices, and orientations of marginalized communities.
These communities have in common the context that is the United
States, with the challenges it holds for all regarding: pressure to
conform to conventional-canonical forms of communication,
representation, and embodiment (mimicry); opportunities to speak
back to and confront and overturn conventionality (interruptions);
and the need to experience ongoing meaningful and complex
relationships (reorientation) to the centering politics, practices,
and myths that define ''America.''
