En la Lucha / In the Struggle: Elaborating a Mujerista Theology (10th Anniversary Edition) (English and Spanish Edition)

About this ebook

Ten years ago En la Lucha offered the first systematic presentation of mujerista theology -- the liberating religious reflection of Hispanic women -- giving voice to the everyday struggles and insights of Hispanic women and offering a new form of contextual theology.

Since that time, Isasi-Diaz's work has been widely praised, studied, and emulated in Hispanic and other contextual theologies, and she is widely acknowledged to be mujerista theology's major spokeswoman. This anniversary edition places the central thrust of mujerista theology in the ongoing context of North American society, brings a heightened sense of the specificity and complexity of Hispanic identity, and reflects further on the global implications of the North American Hispanic context. With a new Introduction, updates to each chapter, and new Spanish-language summaries of the chapters, the new edition is a sterling presentation of the sources, aims, and truths of mujerista theology.
