The Woman Babylon And The Marks Of Empire: Reading Revelation With A Postcolonial Womanist Hermeneutics Of Ambiveilence (Emerging Scholars)

Criticizes the use of gendered metaphors - Babylon as a tortured woman - which the author asserts reflect an inescapably androcentric, even misogynistic, perspective. The author seeks to dismantle the either/or dichotomy within the Great Whore debate by bringing the categories of race/ethnicity and class to bear on John's metaphors.
