"Wimbush s introduction makes important contributions to the theoretical base for a growing number of projects describing the ways that minoritized groups and individuals have read Scripture. The book s five studies offer rich displays of the agency of minoritized readers."--Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology "Wimbush s introduction makes important contributions to the theoretical base for a growing number of projects describing the ways that minoritized groups and individuals have read Scripture.

Reseña del editor:

MisReading America presents original research on and conversation about reading formations in American communities of color, using the phenomenon of the reading of scriptures―''scripturalizing''―as an analytical wedge. Scriptures here are understood as shorthand for complex social phenomena, practices, and dynamics. The authors take up scripturalizing as a window onto the self-understandings, politics, practices, and orientations of marginalized communities. These communities have in common the context that is the United States, with the challenges it holds for all regarding: pressure to conform to conventional-canonical forms of communication, representation, and embodiment (mimicry); opportunities to speak back to and confront and overturn conventionality (interruptions); and the need to experience ongoing meaningful and complex relationships (reorientation) to the centering politics, practices, and myths that define ''America.''
