At a moment of notably rising levels of anti-Asian hate, this book
offers antiracist resources informed by Asian/North American
feminist theology and biblical scholarship. Although there exist
scholarly books and articles on Asian American theology (broadly
defined) have proliferated in response to the current ethical,
political, and cultural environment have been prolific, there have
been few concerted efforts to interrogate or dismantle anti-Asian
racism inseparable from anti-black racism, and white settler
colonialism that have often undermined the communal spirit and
livelihood of Christian churches in the current political climate.
In the current political climate, COVID-related anti-Asian hate and
racial conflict, which all intersect with gender and
sexuality-based violence, require theological, moral, and political
inquiries. Hence, this book notes the current paucity of work with
critical discussions on the multiple facets of racism from Asian
American feminist theological perspectives. Contributors deepen the
inter/transdisciplinary approaches concerning how to dismantle
racist theological teachings, biblical interpretations, liturgical
presentations, and the Christian church’s leadership structure.
Feminist Praxis against U.S. Militarism provides critical feminist
and womanist analyses of U.S. militarism that challenge the ongoing
U.S. neoliberal military-industrial complex and its multivalent
violence that destroys people's lives, especially women and other
vulnerable populations. It highlights the intentional critique of
U.S. militarism from feminist/womanist perspectives that seek to
show the ways in which gender, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and
violence intersect to threaten women's lives, especially women of
color's lives, and the broader environment upon which women's lives
are dependent. Most of all, this volume challenges the readers to
understand the U.S. as the warfare, counterterror, carceral state
and its devastating effects on the everyday lives of women,
especially women of color, locally, nationally, and globally. This
volume also helps readers understand the racialized gendered
impacts of U.S. militarism in conjunction with the ongoing global
economies of dispossession and militarized violence across the
borders of nation-states. Interrogating U.S. military interventions
in "other" countries can show how the U.S. War on Terror directly
affects U.S. "domestic" affairs and daily lives in the United
States.
Ecologies of Faith in New York City examines patterns of
interreligious cooperation and conflict in New York City. It
explores how representative congregations in this religiously
diverse city interact with their surroundings by competing for
members, seeking out niches, or cooperating via coalitions and
neighborhood organizations. Based on in-depth research in New York
s ethnically mixed and rapidly changing neighborhoods, the essays
in the volume describe how religious institutions shape and are
shaped by their environments, what new roles they have assumed, and
how they relate to other religious groups in the community."
