| Summary: | Womanist Sass and Talk Back is a contextual resistance text for readers interested in social (in)justice. Smith raises our consciousness about pressing contemporary social (in)justice issues that impact communities of color and the larger society. Systemic or structural oppression and injustices, police profiling and brutality, oppressive pedagogy, and gendered violence are placed in dialogue with sacred (con)texts. This book provides fresh intersectional readings of sacred (con)texts that are accessible to both scholars and nonscholars. Womanist Sass and Talk Back is for readers interested in critical interpretations of sacred (con)texts (ancient and contemporary) and in propagating the justice and love of God while engaging those (con)texts. -- Introduction -- Water is a human right, but it ain't free : a womanist reading of John 4:1-42 -- Race, gender, and the politics of "sass" : reading Mark 7:24-30 through a womanist lens of intersectionality and inter(con)textuality -- Epistemologies, pedagogies, and the subordinated other : Luke's parallel construction of the Ethiopian eunuch and the Alexandrian Apollos (Acts 8:26-40; 18:24-28) -- Slavery, torture, systemic oppression, and kingdom rhetoric : an African American reading of Matthew 25:1-13 -- Moral authority, insignificant young bodies, and sacralized violence : reading 2 Kings 2:23-25 through the lens of police brutality -- A womanist reading of Susanna : patriarchal authority, sexual violence, and profiling women of color |
