Doing Theological Double Dutch

A Womanist Pedagogy of Play

About this book

Embodied womanist play brings us closer to ourselves, to others, and to the divine.
 
In this remarkably innovative book, Lakisha R. Lockhart-Rusch offers a fresh vision for theological education rooted in the embodied insights of Black women. Acknowledging the historical reality that play has often been a privilege reserved for those in power, Lockhart-Rusch shows how play has nonetheless functioned as a hidden space of agency, healing, and resistance for Black women. Using the game of Double Dutch as an extended metaphor, she demonstrates how a womanist pedagogy of play offers a transformative encounter with the love of self and of God for students from all backgrounds. Coupling theory with practical tools, this book equips theological educators to teach across difference for the liberation of all.
