Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Though the terms queer and Mennonite rarely come into theoretical or cultural contact, over the last several decades writers and scholars in the United States and Canada have built a body of queer Mennonite literature that shifts these identities into conversation. In this volume, Daniel Shank Cruz brings this growing genre into a critical focus, bridging the gaps between queer theory, literary criticism, and Mennonite literature.Cruz focuses his analysis on recent Mennonite-authored literary texts that espouse queer theoretical principles, including Christina Penners Widows of Hamilton House, Wes Funks Wes Side Story, and Sofia Samatars Tender. These works argue for the existence of a queer Mennonite identity on the basis of shared values: a commitment to social justice, a rejection of binaries, the importance of creative approaches to conflict resolution, and the practice of mutual aid, especially in resisting oppression. Through his analysis, Cruz encourages those engaging with both Mennonite and queer literary criticism to explore the opportunity for conversation and overlap between the two fields.By arguing for engagement between these two identities and highlighting the aspects of Mennonitism that are inherently queer, Cruz gives much-needed attention to an emerging subfield of Mennonite literature. This volume makes a new and important intervention into the fields of queer theory, literary studies, Mennonite studies, and religious studies. Examines the ways queer theory and Mennonite literature have intersected over the past decade and how these two traditions hold fundamental commitments to social justice in common.

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Ethics for Apocalyptic Times is about the role literature can play in helping readers cope with our present-day crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and the shift toward fascism in global politics. Using the lens of Mennonite literature and their own personal experience as a culturally Mennonite, queer, Latinx person, Daniel Shank Cruz investigates the age-old question of what literatures role in society should be, and argues that when we read literature theapoetically, we can glean a relational ethic that teaches us how to act in our difficult times.In this book, Cruz theorizes theapoeticsa feminist reading strategy that reveals the Divine via literature based on lived experiencesand extends the concept to show how it is queer, decolonial, and equally applicable to secular and religious discourse. Cruzs analysis focuses on Mennonite literatureincluding Sofia Samatars short story collection Tender and Miriam Toewss novel Women Talkingbut also examines a non-Mennonite text, Samuel R. Delanys novel The Mad Man, alongside practices of haiku and tarot, to show how reading theapoetically is transferable to other literary traditions.Weaving together close reading and personal narrative, this pathbreaking book makes a significant and original contribution to the field of Mennonite literary studies. Cruzs arguments will also be appreciated by literary scholars interested in queer theory and the role of literature in society. "Examines the writing of Sofia Samatar, Samuel R. Delany, Casey Plett, Miriam Toews, and others to theorize theapoetics, a queer feminist decolonial reading strategy"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
