The author's focus on Asian immigrant women's spirituality is interwoven with different texts such as the story of a woman caught in adultery (Jn. 7: 53-8:11), Asian immigrant women's stories in the novels \u003ci\u003eDictee\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCrossings\u003c\/i\u003e, and stories of Korean shamans encountered in the author's ethnographic fieldwork.\u003cbr\u003e This book suggests that people who experience dislocation can create a borderland where their own marginality gains power and voice. In that borderland, they are able to construct a hybrid identity as a result of deep engagement with one another. In particular, the author's fieldwork on Korean shamans reveals how the shamanic ritual itself functions as a borderland, wherein the marginalized Korean shamans gain hybrid identity. \u003ci\u003eA Hermeneutic on Dislocation as Experience\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for classes in Asian studies, ethnography, cultural anthropology, biblical spirituality, women's spirituality, and interdisciplinary courses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hemchand Gossai, Jung Eun Sophia Park\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433115948\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433115943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Hemchand Gossai","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44790279995647,"sku":"9781433115943","price":85.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d9d8ffa-ed39-4173-b31b-b479ff285a3d.jpg?v=1707288476","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-hermeneutic-on-dislocation-as-hemchand-gossai-9781433115943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
