Remembering Conquest

Remembering Conquest: Feminist/Womanist Perspectives on Religion, Colonization, and Sexual Violence addresses the issue of sexual violence against women from feminist/womanist theological perspectives. Taken from the proceedings of a panel discussion at the 1998 annual meeting of the American Academy of Religion, this informative book offers sociologists, clergy, and women an examination of how negative stereotypes in society are derived from Christian perspectives and other religions. Exploring abuse against Native American, African American, Filipino, and Thai women, Remembering Conquest will help you recognize the combination of issues that lead to violence against women. This valuable book will urge you advocate for change in how religious groups interpret women so that religion can provide a moral and ethical source of equality for women.
