The work of Marcella Maria Althaus-Reid is both groundbreaking and notoriously difficult to read, as it blends theories from post-colonial studies, queer studies, gender and sexuality studies, and feminist and liberation theologies.
Offering a much needed introduction to the work of the theologian, Queer and Indecent shows the development of Althaus-Reid’s core concepts - indigeneity, economic oppression, the body, indecency, heterosexuality, and sex, as well as setting her life in context with an overview of her stance on feminist teaching and activism, and her critique of Latin American liberation theology.
Designed to introduce a new generation to her work, the book serves as both an indispensable guidebook and a launchpad for students to explore her extraordinary writing for themselves.
“We finally have a book length introduction an analysis of Marcella Althaus Reid--in my mind the most important liberation theologian of the end of the 20th century … A must read for anyone seeking tools to develop a liberation theology for today.” -- IVAN PETRELLA, UNIVERSIDAD TORCUATO DI TELLA, ARGENTINA
“… a valuable resource for students engaging with a multidisciplinary approach to theology which was the life blood of Althaus Reid. I encourage you to read it and get drawn into the worlds Althaus Reid creates which are so well laid out by Cooper.” -- LISA ISHERWOOD, UNIVERSITY OF WALES TRINITY ST DAVID
