Ajungla Jamir's brilliant book blends scholarly acumen and graceful reasoning with nuanced insight to forge paths for transforming marginality into strength and socially transformative power. Jamir demonstrates the liberative implications of re-claiming "chinky" from its derogatory and demeaning allusions, and embracing it as a potent symbol of resistance, resilience, and power whereby Northeast tribal Indian women -- marginalized by race, gender, geo-politics, and socioeconomic status -- declare their right to dignity, respect, agency, and full participation in mainstream Indian society. In that process, she generates Christian ethics illumined by a nuanced account of intersectionality. This author's faithful theological and moral imagination perceives Jesus' life as a guide for transforming spaces of marginality into sites of divine revelation in the unfolding of God's liberating redeeming work. Jamir's voice is inspiring, engaging, constructive, hope-giving. The book is a must-read for all who hunger to read the text of God's revelation in the lives of marginalized and resisting people.
