Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve essays responding to the proposed title, 'Dissent and Marginality', each with a specific perspective and solid research, are brought together here. The collection incorporates the historical and contemporary dimensions, tracing back religious, philosophical or social dissent in our history and addressing the issue of race, gender, sexuality and other forms of marginalization of our postmodern times. It offers a train of fine reading to theologians, literary, cultural or social critics and historians.
