Abstract

Pre-texts: the study of the Bible as ethnography the study of the Bible as socio-cultural hermeneutics the study of the Bible as cultural-historical reality. Con-texts: flight, or cultural de-formation and discovery of the self-in-Marronage settlement, or formation of the self-and-worlds-in-Marronage negotiation, or re-for(ul)ation from the site of Marronage. Subtexts: it's not just a Church thing It's not just a Christian thing it's not just a Black thing it's not just an American thing some things about it are disturbing it's how women read themselves and the world it's not a change of colour but a whole change of subject kind of thing.
