Combining feminist reading strategies with sustained methodological enquiry, this volume presents an exploration by feminist biblical scholars of how aspects of social location such as gender, ethnicity, class and religious background affect biblical interpretation. Writing in a range of modes, including historical and literary criticism, cultural studies, satirical fiction and the personal essay, the contributors challenge the presumed objectivity of conventional biblical scholarship.

"A stunningly original and moving work that dramatically expands the national dialogue on race. . . . Yamamoto presents a multidisciplinary, praxis-oriented approach to confronting conflict among communities of color. He provides us with the concepts, the methods, and the language to understand and grapple with the messy nature of reconciliation between racialized groups. His vision of interracial justice is compelling, inspiring, and essential to averting the fire next time."-Michael Omi, University of California, Berkeley "A voice of reason, wisdom and compassion, Eric Yamamoto brings rich practical experience and analytic insight to the crucial subject of healing and reconciliation between groups divided by histories of oppression and mistreatment. This book is vital reading for anyone interested in creating a just world."-Martha Minow, Harvard Law School, author of "Between Vengeance and Forgiveness: Facing History after Genocide" "Inspiring and energizing, disturbing and challenging, informative and inquisitive, "Interracial Justice" is a thoroughly researched, even ground-breaking, tour de force." -Berta Esperanza Hern ndez-Truyol, St. John's University "Remarkable. A must read for all activists." -Yuri Kochiyama, "Yamamoto's analysis offers an important insight: A group can simultaneously be oppressed by others more powerful than it and also oppress others less powerful. . . . A pragmatic model for how interracial justice may someday be real."-"The Hawaii Herald",
