Beskrivning
Mother Earth, Postcolonial and Liberation Theologies adds another contribution to the ongoing interrogation of an imminent universal crisis, global warming. Examining the environmental crisis from liberation, postcolonial, and theological lenses in Africa, the continent whose people stand to bear the brunt of ecological catastrophe, the contributors provide fresh perspectives that place this book at the forefront of new research being done across the African continent. The volume serves as a compendium for the intersection of African spirituality, cultural expression, and the earth.

Recensioner i media

Mother Earth, Postcolonial and Liberation Theologies is a deep and intense cry from the womb of Africa.Chronicling the faithful and persistent pilgrimage of the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians to the Promised Land of true liberation and freedom in every sphere of life and living on the planet, this landmark collection of essays is informed and visionary. It is churned in the crucible of an incisive socio-political and prophetic imagination.Bravely bearing witness to a pernicious history of diminishment and erosion of true personhood in Africa, through the blight of colonial oppression and discrimination, poverty, wars, degradation of our common environment, and the absence of basic amenities for dignified, everyday living, this book is a CRY OF THE EARTH for urgent change and transformation. Grounded and rooted in a robust contextual theology, it is a compelling call for the restoration and healing of humanity in the image of God.
