"An exciting contribution to feminist theological scholarship. Kamitsuka takes on the most challenging issues and offers in-depth scrutiny and fresh insights. Combining theory with theology and based on a broad spectrum of women's theological writings, this book will be an important resource for the classroom, the church, and progressive religious communities." --Kwok Pui-lan, author of Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist TheologyMargaret Kamitsuka makes methodologically central the challenge of difference for (white) feminist theology, which first claimed to speak for all women. Her book takes with utter seriousness the ongoing function of privilege, particularly that of race and heterosexuality, and traces its various continual and subtle reemergence even in theologies with the best of "inclusionary" intentions. This is a wonderfully impressive and wide-ranging coverage of dialoguesover difference with a fascinating constructive proposal." ---Mary McClintock Fulkerson, author of Changing the Subject: Women's Discourses and Feminist Theology"An exciting contribution to feminist theological scholarship.
