Colonial Contexts and Postcolonial Theologies - (Postcolonialism and Religions) by M Brett & J Havea (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Colonial Contexts and Postcolonial Theology focuses on what postcolonial theologies look like in colonial contexts, particularly in dialogue with the First Nations Peoples in Australia and the Asia-Pacific. The contributors have roots in the Asia-Pacific, but the struggles, theologies and concerns they address are shared across the seas.

Review Quotes

"This book introduces a mosaic of voices, narratives and conversations important for Christians not only in the Asia-Pacific, but also in other places where the connections between different forms of Christianity and different forms of colonialism need to be examined. It is also a helpful resource for scholars, students and religious leaders interested in increased collaboration between religious studies and postcolonial theories." (Raimundo C. Barreto Jr., Scottish Journal of Theology, Vol. 701 (3), August, 2017)
