Drawing on cultural studies scholar Kuan-Hsing Chen's threefold
notion of decolonization, deimperialization, and de-cold-war, this
book provides analyses of the interrelated issues concerning the
relationship between Christianity and the United States'
imperialist militarism in the Asia Pacific. Contributors explore
the effects of US imperialist militarism on the formation of Asian
and Asian American collective subjectivity and inter/intra
subjectivity. The book investigates the ways in which Christianity
(broadly defined), in its own complexity, has been complicit in
maintaining and reinforcing US imperialist military agendas in both
national and international contexts. Conversely, the volume also
discusses the various sites and instances where Christianity has
managed to serve as a force of resistance against US imperialist
militarism.
This book provides a critical feminist analysis of the Korean
Protestant Right's gendered politics. Specifically, the volume
explores the Protestant Right's responses and reactions to the
presumed weakening of hegemonic masculinity in Korea's
post-hypermasculine developmentalism context. Nami Kim examines
three phenomena: Father School (an evangelical men's manhood and
fatherhood restoration movement), the anti-LGBT movement, and
Islamophobia/anti-Muslim racism. Although these three phenomena may
look unrelated, Kim asserts that they represent the Protestant
Right's distinct yet interrelated ways of engaging the contested
hegemonic masculinity in Korean society. The contestation over
hegemonic masculinity is a common thread that runs through and
connects these three phenomena. The ways in which the Protestant
Right has engaged the contested hegemonic masculinity have been in
relation to "others," such as women, sexual minorities, gender
nonconforming people, and racial, ethnic, and religious minorities.

This volume addresses the problematic relationship between
colonialism and the Bible. It does so from the perspective of the
Global South, calling upon voices from Africa and the Middle East,
Asia and the Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The
contributors address the present state of the problematic
relationship in their respective geopolitical and geographical
contexts. In so doing, they provide sharp analyses of the past, the
present, and the future: historical contexts and trajectories,
contemporary legacies and junctures, and future projects and
strategies. Taken together, the essays provide a rich and expansive
comparative framework across the globe.
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.
