The author's focus on Asian immigrant women's spirituality is interwoven with different texts such as the story of a woman caught in adultery (Jn. 7: 53-8:11), Asian immigrant women's stories in the novels \u003ci\u003eDictee\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCrossings\u003c\/i\u003e, and stories of Korean shamans encountered in the author's ethnographic fieldwork.\u003cbr\u003e This book suggests that people who experience dislocation can create a borderland where their own marginality gains power and voice. In that borderland, they are able to construct a hybrid identity as a result of deep engagement with one another. In particular, the author's fieldwork on Korean shamans reveals how the shamanic ritual itself functions as a borderland, wherein the marginalized Korean shamans gain hybrid identity. \u003ci\u003eA Hermeneutic on Dislocation as Experience\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for classes in Asian studies, ethnography, cultural anthropology, biblical spirituality, women's spirituality, and interdisciplinary courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJung Eun Sophia Park, SNJM, is Assistant Professor in the Religious Studies Department at Holy Names University in California.
