About this book
Reviews
“This pioneering book uses the critical lenses of gender, sexuality, transnationalism, and Islamophobia to examine the formation of hegemonic masculinity of the Protestant Right in South Korea. It offers a fresh angle to look at the impact of Protestant Christianity in South Korean society. I highly recommend it to readers interestedin gender studies, transnational studies, and world Christianity.” (Kwok Pui Lan, author of Postcolonial Imagination and Feminist Theology)
“This is the first book-length critique of Korean Evangelicalism—or the Protestant Right, as Nami Kim calls it—from a feminist perspective. It is well researched and clearly presented, showing Kim’s deep knowledge of gender theories and cultural and religious developments in modern Korea. Her thesis rings true.” (Timothy S. Lee, Associate Professor of the History of Christianity, Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University, USA)
