The Woman Babylon and the Marks of Empire: Reading Revelation with a Postcolonial Womanist Hermeneutics of Ambiveilence
Shanell T Smith
Criticizes the use of gendered metaphors - "Babylon" as a tortured woman - which the author asserts reflect an inescapably androcentric, even misogynistic, perspective. The author seeks to dismantle the either/or dichotomy within the "Great Whore" debate by bringing the categories of race/ethnicity and class to bear on John's metaphors.
