Recenzii
This fascinating text articulates the story of YWCA as one that embodies a Christian feminist ethic for human dignity.
Eleanor Tiplady Higgs immerses readers in an exploration of the transplanted religious organization, the YWCA, in Kenya - a journey from the colonial to present day. There is keen attention to the intersection of race, religion and gender.
In true postcolonial feminist spirit, Eleanor Tiplady Higgs critically foregrounds women's moral agency, elucidating how this is enabled through everyday Christian ethics. Doing so, she develops an innovative approach to gender, religion, ethics and identity.
This sophisticated study explores how the Kenya YWCA negotiates tensions arising among its Christian, feminist and African identities as it seeks to advance women's lives. It sheds light on an underappreciated yet important aspect of how African Christians engage global Christianity and development institutions.
