Description: About this Item The item is a book Paperback The Title is God is Change : Religious Practices and Ideologies in the Works of Octavia Butler Condition New Other Comments Pages Count - 253. Category - Literary Criticism Product Description - Throughout her work, Octavia E. Butler explored, critiqued, and created religious ideology. Her prescient thoughts on the synergy between politics and religion in America are evident in her 1993 dystopian novel, Parable of the Sower, and its 1998 sequel, Parable of the Talents. They explored, respectively, what happens during a divisive "cultural war" that unjustly impacts the disenfranchised, and the rise of a fascistic president, allied with white fundamentalist Christianity, who chants the slogan, "Make America Great Again."But religion, for Butler, need not be a restricting force. The editors of and contributors to God Is Change heighten our appreciation for the range and depth of Butler's thinking about spirituality and religion, as well as how Butler's work-especially the Parable and Xenogenesis series-offers resources for healing and community building. Essays consider the role of spirituality in Butler's canon and the themes of confronting trauma as well as experiencing transformation and freedom. God Is Change meditates on alternate religious possibilities that open different political and cultural futures to illustrate humanity's ability to endure change and thrive.
