READING THE BIBLE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF BLACK WOMEN:
CONTRIBUTIONS FOR OVERCOMING RACISM
Keywords:
Bible, Racism, Black women, ProtagonismAbstract
A peripheric thinking called Black Feminist Hermeneutics arises from the spiritual experience of black women in the diaspora as a biblical-theological response to the historical experience of racism, sexism, and classism. Its fundamental task is, therefore, to reveal the conditioning of classic biblical interpretations by Eurocentric and patriarchal logic and, above all, to reveal the spiritual protagonism of black women in the Bible. Through this interpretative exercise, it is seeks to contribute to the deconstruction of the Eurocentric imaginary that continues to legitimize domination and anti-black racism and, thus, to cooperate for the reconstruction of a depatriarchalized and anti-racist imaginary. The method consists of bibliographic review and the hermeneutic analysis of the biblical text.
