Raymond Brown reviews Unmuted by Usha Reifsnider
As promised in its Introduction, this book does make for uncomfortable reading in places.
The 14 chapters, including the Introduction, are written by 15 authors from a variety of different ethnic, ecclesiological, social, and academic backgrounds. The one thing they have in common is a desire to “unmute” the voices of the voiceless by interacting with Muted Group Theory (MGT), and as they understand it in relation to their respective fields of study. The book covers a range of issues from climate justice to the Roma community, from women in leadership, from race and ethnicity to body trauma and healing.
