How does a women's organization in Africa navigate controversial ethical dilemmas, while dealing with the pressures of imperialism in international development? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on a case study of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) in Kenya, this book explores the answers to these questions. It also introduces a theoretical framework drawn from postcolonial feminist critique, narrative identity theory and the work of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians: 'everyday Christian ethics'. The book evaluates the theory's implications as a cross-disciplinary theme in feminist studies of religion and theology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Eleanor Tiplady Higgs argues that Kenya YWCA's narratives of its Christian history and constitution sustain a link between its ethical perspective and its identity. The ethical insights that emerge from these practices proclaim the relevance of the value of 'fulfilled lives', as prescribed in the New Testament, for Christian women's experiences of reproductive injustice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eleanor Tiplady Higgs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350247952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350247956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.52d","brand":"Eleanor Tiplady Higgs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071403421951,"sku":"9781350247956","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_535770bd-14e0-4bd7-8815-b8f0196be5da.jpg?v=1685435891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narrative-identity-and-ethics-in-eleanor-tiplady-higgs-9781350247956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
