Postcolonial Theologies by Keller Catherine
A theology in tune with postcolonial theory has the potential to creatively inform and transform ecclesial practice. Focusing on the relation of theology to postcolonial theory, Postcolonial Theologies brings together a wide diversity of authors, many of them fresh and exciting theological voices, in essays that are stunningly creative and prophetically lucid. All essays are theologically constructive, not merely deconstructive or critical, in their visions for Christianity. Forming a sort of doctrinal landscape, they emerge under the themes of theological anthropology shaped by ethnicity, class, and privilege; a Christology that intersects the claims of Christ and empire; and a Cosmology that imagines a postcolonial world.Mayra Rivera is a professor of religion and Latinx studies at Harvard University. Rivera works at the intersections between continental philosophy of religion, literature, and theories of coloniality, race, and gender--with particular attention to Caribbean postcolonial thought. Her research explores the relationship between discursive and material dimensions in shaping human embodiment. Her most recent book, Poetics of the Flesh (Duke University Press, 2015), analyzes theological, philosophical, and political descriptions of flesh as metaphors for understanding how social discourses
materialize in human bodies. Rivera is currently developing a project that explores narratives of catastrophe in twentieth century Caribbean writing.
