Overview
Readings by South Pacific islanders This book offers readings of the Bible by native biblical critics from the South Pacific (Pasifika). An essay from editor Jione Havea introduces the volume by locating these essays within islander criticism and by explaining the flow of the book. Essays are presented in three sections. Island Twists offers readings that twist, like a whirlpool, biblical texts around insights of Pasifika novelists, composers, poets, and sages. Island Turns contains contextual readings that turn biblical texts toward Pasifika. Across the Sea contains responses by biblical critics from across the sea. Features Contributions to islander criticism A showcase of texts by native writers, poets, and composers Crosscultural and postcolonial readings
