ABSTRACT
In the light of the findings of the previous two chapters, it is appropriate to search for the subaltern voices in this author’s context as these offer a fitting response to the ongoing struggles of praxis and hermeneutics. By placing Mark 5:1-20 (the story of the Gerasene demoniac) in the context of a postcolonial situation, the present condition of the people of the margins may be deconstructed. The emergence of subaltern theology in the postcolonial era has been a significant form of resistance on the part of the subalterns. Thus some important insights from such deliberations will be used in this re-reading of the text.
