Postcolonial Politics and Theology: Unraveling Empire for a Global World

Kwok Pui-Lan

4.9/5 (30357 ratings)

Description:Postcolonial Politics and Theology seeks to reform and reimagine the field of political theology--uprooting it from the colonial soil--using the comparative lenses of postcolonial politics and theology to bring attention to the realities of the Global South. Kwok Pui-lan traces the history of the political impacts of Western theological development, and the need to shift these interlocking fields toward non-Western traditions in theory and practice. A special focus of the book is on the changing sociopolitical realities of American Empire and Sino-American competition, illustrated in Donald Trump's slogan of Make America Great Again and Xi Jinping's hope for a China Dream. The shifting of U.S. and Asian relationships highlights the need to move our theological and political categories away from a vision of strongman domination and toward a postmodern, postcolonial, and transnational world, especially exemplified in the Asia Pacific context. She explores how these theologies are being developed in global, postcolonial contexts, through struggles for democracy and civil disobedience in Hong Kong, by efforts to reclaim selfhood and sexual identity from exploitative colonial desire, through the work of interreligious solidarity and peacebuilding, and in the practice of earth care in the face of ecological crisis.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
