Insurrectionist Wisdoms
from HTI Open Plaza Hosted by Open Plaza
In this episode of OP Talks, Dr. Neomi De Anda talks to 2023 HTI Book Prize winner Dr. Marlene M. Ferreras about her book Insurrectionist Wisdoms: Toward a North American Indigenized Pastoral Theology (Rowman & Littlefield, 2022). Through practical theological and anthro/gynopological methods, Insurrectionist Wisdoms offers an analysis of the situation of working-class Maya mexicanas living in Yucatán, México who work on the assembly line of a multinational corporation. Relying on in-depth, firsthand interviews, Dr. Ferreras brings to light the exploitation of women of color by large, multimillion-dollar corporations and delves into the ways these women can, and do, fight back. Drawing on a decolonial approach to pastoral theology and feminism, Dr. Ferreras proposes Lxs Hijxs de Maíz as an image for pastoral care and counseling.
