These religious misfits-marginalized from traditional religious spaces due to their sexuality, gender, or race-employ the creative tactics of digital media in their work to seek justice and to display their fundamental equality in the eyes of God. Through an analysis of various digital projects from hip-hop music videos and Instagram accounts to Twitter hashtags and podcasts, Kristin Peterson argues that the hybrid, flexible, playful, and sensory nature of digital media facilitate intersectional feminist activism within and beyond religious communities. Drawing on work from queer theory, decolonial theory, and Black feminist theory, this study explores how those who have been marginalized are able to effectively deploy their disregarded status along with digital media tactics to cultivate empathetic communities for those recovering from religious trauma"-- Provided by publisher Notes Description based upon print version of record Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Digital media -- Social aspects Digital media -- Political aspects Feminists -- Political activity Feminism -- Political aspects Women conservatives -- Political activity Religious fundamentalism -- Political aspects Fundamentalism -- Political aspects Islamic fundamentalism -- Political aspects Digital communications -- Social aspects Digital communications -- Political aspects RELIGION / General Digital communications -- Social aspects Digital media -- Political aspects Digital media -- Social aspects Feminism -- Political aspects Feminists -- Political activity Fundamentalism -- Political aspects Islamic fundamentalism -- Political aspects Religious fundamentalism -- Political aspects Genre/Form Electronic books Form Electronic book LC no. 2021045844 ISBN 9781978822702 1978822707
