Theologies of survival emerge from religious communities that must invest most, if not all, of their efforts into maintaining membership and preserving their religious thought and praxis—which, the author argues, can have a strong impact on women’s visibility and agency.
This is a book about women in survival communities and the ways that survival and theology are used to shut down women''s voices. Mariam Youssef examines the ways in which the condition of survival puts religious women in a bind by embedding paradigms into theology that, more often than not, reinforce women''s subordination as a condition of survival. Women in survival communities are not only grappling with the existential threat that comes with their survival identities but also struggling to make their voices heard within their own communities where their needs are frequently put on the back burner. Survival communities often find themselves responding to their trauma in ways that prescribe strict patriarchal norms, promoting notions of gender binary and compulsory heterosexuality.
