Reading Mary Alongside Indian Surrogate Mothers Violent Love, Oppressive Liberation, and Infancy Narratives
Description
This book attempts to read the character of Mary in the infancy narratives of Luke and Matthew alongside the lives of experiences of the Indian surrogate mother living a postcolonial India. Reading Mary through these lenses helps us see this mother and her actions in a more ambivalent light, as a mother whose love is both violent and altruistic.
