About this product
Product Information
For Judeo-Christian theology, The Laughter of the Oppressed explores uncharted terrain. This book broadens the theological lens to examine the multicultural, modern historical fiction of Elie Wiesel, Toni Morrison, and Shusaku Endo as case studies. In these authors' well-respected texts, Gates of the Forest, Beloved, and Silence, we discover the laughter of the Jews during the Holocaust, the laughter of African Americans both slave and free, and the laughter of the persecuted religious minority of Japanese Christians.

Reviews
"This text is an important theological interpretation of the meaning of laughter for the oppressed. I strongly recommend it." -James H. Cone, Charles Augustus Briggs Distinguished Professor of Systematic Theology Union Theological Seminary New York, N.Y., "Political jokes arise in dictatorships and their laughter is liberating oppressed and silenced people. They are nothing less than a resonance of the laughing God in heaven. "The Lord shall have them in derision." (Ps 2,4). The arrogance of power is ridiculous because God is God. I read this fascinating study with growing admiration. It is a masterpiece and a great contribution to every liberating theology." -Jurgen Moltmann, "Jacqueline Bussie reads familiar texts with a keen theological eye and provides fresh and innovative insights into these literary classics. With exquisite literary sensibility and bold theological imagination she helps her readers to understand how genuine laughter emerges from the depths of suffering. This is theological writing of the highest order - intelligent, faithful, and deeply moving." -Ronald F. Thiemann, Bussey Professor of Theology, Harvard Divinity School, "Bussie listens deeply to the voices of people traditionally marginalized to discover how they have given expression to the paradox of 'colliding narratives' and responded creatively to tragic suffering...The Laughter of the Oppressed...is indispensable for those concerned with theodicy and the problem of suffering, the theology of the cross, liberation theologies, and the use of fiction as a theological resource." -Karen Teel, Catholic Books Review
