A Feminist Ethic of Risk (Other Feminist Voices)

Rating:
Summary: Stunning.
Review: In this amazing book, Welch constructs an ethic of resistance to injustice within the limits of human finitude. Taking both sides of this tension seriously - the need to oppose oppression and the need to recognize one's limits and limitations - she forges a theology truly adequate to the task of liberation. Her thought-provoking interpretations of African-American literature are a particular strength of the book. For anyone wondering how to maintain hope in the face of massive suffering, this book is a must-read.
