Deconstruction, Feminist Theology, and the Problem of Difference : Subverting the Race/Gender Divide (Religion and Postmodernism Series)

Rating:
Summary: Clear indictment, less clear solution.
Review: Armour's critique of feminist theology's white bias is but a recent example. Unfortunately, her book reads more like an attack on feminist theology than a constructive extension of it. Possible positive contributions feminist theology may have to make to her project are suggested, but not followed up on. Furthermore, she takes issue with Ruether and Daly, who have not taken up postmodern thought, but does not engage Schussler Fiorenza, who has. However, as an introduction to deconstruction, the book is excellent - one of the clearest statements of the ethical bent of deconstruction. Whatever quibbles one might take with the book, it is worth the read.

Review: This book gave me new ideas about the ancient roots of feminisim. It is my favorite book ever.
