Refreshing and Novel or Incredibly Old Hat???,

This review is from: White Women's Christ and Black Women's Jesus: Feminist Christology and Womanist Response (Brown Studies in Religion) (Paperback)
Was the film "13 Going on 30" novel or just "Big" plus female issues slapped together? Was the Wayans' "White Girls" new or just "Some Like It Hot" with race and class issues slapped on? Is green original or just yellow and blue thrown together in an unsurprising manner? This book will make you ask the same question.
Non-religious feminists of color have for years said that mainstream feminism is Eurocentric or doesn't take in unique perspectives of women of color. Some examples include bell hooks, Trihn T. Minha, and Angela Harris. Third World feminists have made the same argument on the international scale. Here, the author just says white feminist theologists are Eurocentric. Is she introducing something amazing to the field or just getting paid by applying a very old argument to it? In the 1990s, many Black comics had a routine in which they said, "Have you notice that white people do X, but Black ppl do Y?" They even showed this joke on "The Simpsons." This book uses that same tactic. I'm just not sure this was all that original. But evangelical women of color may love it. It's amazing how many in that group have embraced Alice Walker's term "womanist," but I've never heard that Alice Walker practiced that creed. Go figure. |
