Dislocation which involves moving from a familiar place to an unknown place is a common experience in this era of globalization yet it can cause a deep sense of alienation people feel invisible voiceless and anonymous. A Hermeneutic on Dislocation as Experience: Creating a Borderland Constructing a Hybrid Identity employs socio-rhetorical criticism from a postcolonial perspective providing a hermeneutic on the experience of dislocation from the perspective of Asian immigrant women. The author's focus on Asian immigrant women's spirituality is interwoven with different texts such as the story of a woman caught in adultery (Jn. 7: 53-8:11) Asian immigrant women's stories in the novels Dictee and Crossings and stories of Korean shamans encountered in the author's ethnographic fieldwork. This book suggests that people who experience dislocation can create a borderland where their own marginality gains power and voice. In that borderland they are able to construct a hybrid identity as a result of deep engagement with one another. In particular the author's fieldwork on Korean shamans reveals how the shamanic ritual itself functions as a borderland wherein the marginalized Korean shamans gain hybrid identity. A Hermeneutic on Dislocation as Experience is a valuable resource for classes in Asian studies ethnography cultural anthropology biblical spirituality women's spirituality and interdisciplinary courses.
