Postcolonialism, Feminism and Religious Discourse
Red Woman, White Dreams: Searching for Sacagawea
IN HER EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION TO Reading Native American Women, Ines Hernandez-Avila (Nez Perce/Latina) noted that one of the most significant tasks of a vigorous and healing Native American women's studies is recovering the stories of our precursors.... For some, for many, their stories have been hidden, overlooked. It is time for them to come out. If the formal recollection and recording of the lives and works of these ancestor precursors enable…
Making a Joyful Noise: William Apess and the Search for Postcolonial Method(ism)
This article explores how early North American Methodism became a site of postcolonial negotiation between American Indians and Christianity. It particularly focuses on Methodism's thick orality through the figure of William Apess, a nineteenth-century Pequot, who became a convert to Methodism as well as one of this movement's itinerant preachers. Through the example of Apess, as well as an unnamed, seventeenth-century Mi'kmaw woman, the article …
Native Women's Double Cross: Christology from the Contact Zone
One of the hallmarks of American Indian colonial experience was the arrival of Christian missionaries. The response of Native cultures to missionization has been complex, with some resisting the white (wo)man's religion and others embracing it. Throughout their contact with Christianity, however, many American Indians appropriated its stories on their own terms and for their own purposes. Stories about Jesus comprise one of the most important sit…
On Medicine Women and White Shame-Ans: New Age Native Americanism and Commodity Fetishism as Pop Culture Feminism
Decolonizing Feminisms: Race, Gender, and Empire-Building
Decolonizing Feminisms is a plea for an 'allegorical feminism' (p. 134). It's easy to stumble over this conjunction of words, since 'allegorical', in my book anyway, implies a certain kind of indirection, an oblique form of speech which, as my dictionaer puts it, presents a 'narrative description of a subject under guise of another suggestively similar'. At first glance this doesn't look much like feminism which, at its most powerful, is surely a…
Decolonizing feminisms: Race, gender, & empire-building
Donaldson presents new paradigms of interpretation that help to bring the often oppositional stances of First versus Third World and traditional versus postmodern feminism into a more constructive relationship. She situates contemporary theoretical debates about reading, writing, and the politics of identity within the context of historical colonialism--primarily under the English in the nineteenth century
