Abstract

[Postcolonial criticism is a “reading posture,” an interpretive perspective or conceptual attitude rather than a formal methodology, states biblical postcolonial theorist R. S. Sugirtharajah.1 On a practical level, it means that the interpreter appropriates postcolonial concepts and insights to inform her or his interpretation while employing a host of different critical methods to undergird the reading.2 What is important regardless of the methodology is that the interpreter draws her or his “interpretive energy” from postcolonialism, letting it shape the content and course of the reading.3 This can at times imply an oppositional or disobedient reading that runs counter to the traditional dominant interpretation.4]
