Description

This book focuses on discovering particular moral and theological virtues of the oppressed embodied in their daily practices of survival, resistance, and flourishing. In contemporary virtue discourses in the fields of moral philosophy and Christian ethics, the lived experiences of the oppressed have been rarely utilized as a source, which in turn leads to the lack of sufficient attention to structural and cultural violence against this particular community. This project aims to address this methodological problem by employing a specific social-scientific methodology, the extended case method.
