Author Description

"Embodying hospitality in receiving strangers and displaced people is a key concern in the Catholic tradition. Through his words and deeds, Pope Francis encourages Christians to advocate for and support concrete actions that welcome, protect, promote and integrate our migrant and refugee neighbors as well as to call on others, especially our political and social leaders, to do likewise. Very often, emphasis is place of the displacement persons moving from Middle East or Africa to European countries. There are, however, large numbers of persons in Asia who suffer as a result of displacement and disqualification. Significant numbers of these are women. These women are the focus of this book which offers analysis of and reflection on various issues relating to migration, displacement and disqualification in Asia from Asian feminist theological perspectives."--Back cover.
