Sexuality: A Queer Omission In U.S. Latino/A Theology, James B. Nickoloff
Sexuality: A Queer Omission In U.S. Latino/A Theology, James B. Nickoloff
Journal of Hispanic / Latino Theology
U.S. Latino/a theologies have been prophetically strident in calling out oppression of every sort for scrutiny — all, that is, except for sexuality: particularly homosexuality, around which they has been an embarrassing and stultifying silence. Nickoloff calls for a “teología homo de conjunto,” calling attention to questions of gender and sexuality, and the crossings between them, in contemporary critical theory and Latino/a theology.

Elbows On The Table: The Ethics Of Doing Theology, Reflections From A U.S. Hispanic Perspective, Carmen Marie Nanko
Journal of Hispanic / Latino Theology
The author proposes a richly local theology, contextualized in the banter, struggles, and confrontations of daily life, en lo cotidiano. These experiences are considered the foundational touchstones for theological reflection.
‘One Is Not Born A Latina, One Becomes One’: The Construction Of The Latina Feminist Theologian In Latino/A Theology, Michelle A. González
‘One Is Not Born A Latina, One Becomes One’: The Construction Of The Latina Feminist Theologian In Latino/A Theology, Michelle A. González
Journal of Hispanic / Latino Theology
The author argues that feminism and feminist theory are not taken seriously enough as critical resources in Latina/o theology. She interrogates the politics of identity as practiced &mdash overtly and covertly by Latinx theologian &mdash and how that identity discourse refracts the production of theology in the academy. She calls for greater collaboration among feminist theologians, as well as women who do not consciously use a feminist hermeneutic. Finally, she urges Latino theology to train a hermeneutics of suspicion on every essentialism, particularly figurings of "the people," as they often appear in Latinx theologies.
