Emancipatory Possibilities beyond Kyriarchy: A Mexican Woman's Story
Issue: Vol 10 No. 2 (2015)
Journal: Fieldwork in Religion
Subject Areas: Religious Studies Linguistics
Abstract:
María, a self-sufficient Mexican Christian woman, understands her life in terms of her relationship with God. Giving María voice as directly as possible, locating her within her cultural context of contemporary Mexico, and considering her conceptualization of God through the lens of critical theory, crevices are revealed where the light of transcendence shines through. This permits, however briefly, possibilities for reconciliation and resistance to the kinds of kyriarchal domination that are reflected in María’s particular story.
