Book Description
This study is an attempt to explore the significance of diasporic hybridity for theology in general and hermeneutics in particular, referring to a complex of experiences involving being uprooted from a homeland and moving to a new, often inhospitable place where one acquires a hybrid identity over time due to one’s location between two or more cultural worlds with which one can claim some affiliation. This work focused particularly on Asian-Americans.
