A Postcolonial Woman’s Encounter with Moses and Miriam cover

This book is grounded in a theorization of the author's personal story including growing up as a female adoptee of a single parent in a patriarchal context, and current material context as an immigrant in New Zealand.

“In this fresh reading of the characters of Moses and Miriam in Exodus 2, Angeline Song offers new insights for this often-studied passage with the help of some intriguing methodologies. … Overall, A Postcolonial Woman’s Encounter with Moses and Miriam is a fresh and engaging read that any student or scholar of the book of Exodus … would do well to consider.” (Kirsi Cobb, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, August, 2018)


"This is a good read for academic biblical scholars who are interested in a cultural hermeneutic and postcolonial perspective. … I very much value the contribution Song has made to the area of my subject of interest through this book.” (Jasmine Devadason, Black Theology, Vol. 15 (1), 2017)
