Abstract
ABSTRACT As imposed by the U.S., the colonial Christian project in Puerto Rico has created a border around the bodies of Puerto Rican women. Subjected to an oppressive economy of desire and narrative of sexual decency, the efforts of Christian women’s liberation movements are susceptive to the patriarchal structures that they work against. This work looks closely at the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (1899-present), one of the highest moral compasses of women’s politics of embodiment in Puerto Rican society, and analyzes the historical complexity of its liberative aims. Finally, this paper concludes with a promiscuous God-talk to continue building a theological reflection on God outside the borders of the exoticization of violence.
