| Summary: | Despite the substantial interest in postcolonialism and postcolonial biblical criticism in many parts of the world, (South) African biblical scholarship has been cautious in its response. This article attempts to understand this reluctance, recognising that some of the unfamiliar feel of the discourse stems from the dominance of diasporal sites in its ongoing theorisation, some from its tendency to reify, commodify, and consume anything home-grown and local, some from its failure to envisage a clear liberation project, and some from the way in which postcolonial analysis has been projected back into ancient biblical contexts, and in so doing diminishing current contexts of actual postcolonial contestation. |
