Call For Papers: Postcolonialism, Nationality and Decolonization: In the postcolonial era, political attention has often been focussed on the development of national identity and solidarity. Nationalism in various forms consolidates the nation yet, in many contexts, recolonizes the people at the same time. Decolonization in Asia remains a struggle in various modes, 70 years since the geopolitical changes brought by WWII. This session invites papers in biblical interpretations that engage Asian contexts, in theory and practice, in their various struggles with politics, economics, ideology, national identity, democracy, gender and social equality, migration, refugees and public policy.
