No rating yet(0 ratings)The hardcover God Is Change: Religious Practices and Ideologies in the Works of Octavia Butler, by Aparajita Nanda; Shelby Crosby (sku-146442502), is a Religion & Religious Studies Books title. Butler explored, critiqued and created religious ideologies throughout her work, including the relationship between politics and religion in America.
Her 1993 dystopian novel Parable of the Sower depicts a divisive cultural war that unfairly harms disenfranchised people. Its 1998 sequel, Parable of the Talents, depicts the rise of a fascistic president allied with white fundamentalist Christianity who uses the slogan "Make America Great Again." For Butler, religion could also offer possibilities beyond restriction.
The editors and contributors discuss how the Parable and Xenogenesis series offer resources for healing and community building. Essays consider spirituality across Butler's work, confronting trauma, and experiencing transformation and freedom.
The book considers alternate religious possibilities, the political and cultural futures they could open, and humanity's ability to endure change and thrive.
