Encountering the West Book

This was a great book! The rudimentary premise is that The*logy is done by all people, not just professionals. It argues that the work of The*logy happens primarily in the lived-experience of people and is therefore shaped by social, cultural, and political realities. The author utilizes ethnographic, qualitative research tools to put for the The*logy of Hispanic Women better known as Mujeristas. She makes the complementary argument that, in contrast to other The*logians of Liberation who view The*logy as a second step of reflection after praxis, Mujerista Liberation The*logy is in and of itself praxis because it denounces and announces oppression and liberation, respectively, in the lives of Latina Women and there religious/social/political/personal lives. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Hispanic The*logy and Liberation The*logy.
