What are the challenges, struggles, sufferings and joys of Caribbean Christian women?
This book was written to try to better understand the particular identity of the Caribbean woman with her wounds, her past, but also her strengths and assets to live in the present and build the future.
The first part of this book discusses the historical context of the life of the West Indian woman, as well as her social and cultural imagination often marked by the painful past of the Slave Trade and slavery, as well as magicoreligious practices.
In the second part, three women give their testimonies, in diverse contexts, but always with the same desire to live their faith concretely and to bear witness to God in all things.
The third part seeks to recognize and value the ministry of Caribbean women in the church.
There is of course no single portrait, no shortcut to be taken, which is why this book was written with several voices, female voices, but also male voices, voices of specialists and of women who testify to their daily lives.
Written largely by and for women of Caribbean origin, it aims simply to encourage Caribbean women, but also, through these writings, all women of the world.
