{"product_id":"9781905048694","title":"Reframing Her: Biblical Women in Postcol","description":"How does one read the story of Sarah and Hagar, or Jezebel and Rahab today, if one is a woman reader situated in a postcolonial society?\u003cp\u003eThis is the question undergirding this work, which considers a selection of biblical texts in which women have significant roles. Employing both a gender and a postcolonial lens, it asks sharp questions both of the interests embedded in the texts themselves and of their impact upon contemporary women readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhereas most postcolonial studies have been undertaken from the perspective of the colonized this work reads the texts from the position of a settler descendant, and is an attempt to engage with the disquietening and challenging questions that reading from such a location raises. Letters from early settler women in New Zealand, contemporary fiction, and personal reminiscence become tools for the task, complementing those traditionally employed in critical biblical readings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sheffield Phoenix Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033074221296,"sku":"9781905048694","price":22.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781905048694_p0.jpg?v=1763614337","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781905048694","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
