| Zusammenfassung: | Social location determines how one reads a text. This truism is amply illustrated by the different readings Native Americans and Euro-Americans bring to the Hebrew Bible's conquest narratives. These dissimilar interpretive positions offer evidence of latent attitudes of colonialism even in the twenty-first century. This article employs Mikail Bakhtin's concepts of dialogue and "outsidedness" to suggest a way forward in establishing a rapprochement between Euro-Americans and Native Americans (as well as other peoples who have been subjected to the negative forces of Western neo-colonialism). |
