505 0 _aPart I : Constructing the narrative -- Nativism -- Pure and perfect piety : nativist discourse in the letter of James -- Part II : Confronting colonialism and hating hybridity -- Identifying the imperial presence -- Identifying the mimetic monster.
520 _aJames confronts the exploitive wealthy; it also opposes Pauline hybridity. K. Jason Coker argues that postcolonial perspectives allow us to understand how these themes converge in the letter. James opposes the exploitation of the Roman Empire and a peculiar Pauline form of hybridity that compromises with it, refutes Roman cultural practices--such as the patronage system and economic practices--that threaten the identity of the letter's recipients, and condemns those who would transgress the boundaries between purity and impurity, God and "world".
