"In this fresh reading of the characters of Moses and Miriam in
Exodus 2, Angeline Song offers new insights for this often-studied
passage with the help of some intriguing methodologies. ...
Overall, A Postcolonial Woman's Encounter with Moses and Miriam is
a fresh and engaging read that any student or scholar of the book
of Exodus ... would do well to consider." (Kirsi Cobb, Reading
Religion, readingreligion.org, August, 2018)

interested in a cultural hermeneutic and postcolonial perspective.
... I very much value the contribution Song has made to the area of
my subject of interest through this book." (Jasmine Devadason,
