Translating Cain : Emotions of Invisibility Through the Gaze of Raskolnikov and Bigger

By Samantha Joo

In this book, Samantha Joo argues that Cain's anger and shame in Genesis 4 arise from the social marginalization of the Kenites of whom he functions narratively as an ancestor. In order to understand and experience his emotions, she reads the biblical story through modern analogies from Crime and Punishment and Native Son.
