Notes Toward Refining the Postcolonial Optic

Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN

This piece represents a counter-response to the responses offered to the Post colonial Bible in the last issue of the Journal. It pursues the three main points raised by the respondents to the volume as a whole: pedagogy, teaching Biblical Studies with the postcolonial optic as central; solidarity, doing postcolonial analysis in the light of other discourses of resistance and emancipation; applicability, deploying the postcolonial optic with awareness of differences in historical contexts and imperial/colonial formations. In so doing, the piece engages in a necessary and ongoing refinement of the postcolonial project of interpretation in Biblical Studies.
