Reimagining Hagar: Blackness and Bible

[edit]

Nyasha Junior's book, Reimagining Hagar: Blackness and Bible was published in 2019. In this book, Junior provides a reception history of the Biblical character Hagar,whose story is found in Genesis 16 and 21. Reimagining Hagar focuses on interpretations of Hagar as a black woman and particularly those interpretations of Hagar that are made by African Americans.[18] Junior examines interpretations of Hagar and how markers of difference like gender, ethnicity, and status intersect in various portrayals of Hagar.[18] In Reimagining Hagar, Junior: "argues that there is an African presence in Biblical texts, identifies and responds to White supremacist interpretations, provides a cultural-historical interpretation that attends to the history of biblical interpretation within Black communities, and provides ideological criticism that uses the African-American context as a reading strategy."[18] Junior has received much praise for this book, with critic Andrew S. Jacobs writing, "In chasing down the ‘mystery of Black Hagar,’ Nyasha Junior uncovers a deeper story: about cultural resistance to the “White default” of the Bible and its continued Orientalist, anti-Black, anti-Jewish, and anti-woman uses."[19]
