Abstract

This qualitative research study examines and analyzes the narratives of Muslim and Christian Liberian refugee women. Findings speak to the expression of God-Talk in the collective subjective lives of the participants’ survival stories. This interpretation is based in a cultural context and historical perspective and utilizes a womanist theological framework. Narrative research methodology reveals an understanding that faith and its expression, God-Talk, is the mechanism of Liberian women’s’ epistemology of survival. Women’s reliance on God protects and guides them while ensuring their families’ survival. Six subcategories ground the findings in a cultural context.
