Product Description "This book is interested not only in analyzing colonial discourse or in deconstructing western dominant regimes of knowledge, but also in examining the interdependence of the cultural terrain traversed by both the colonizers and colonized.I hope to create a little more space to imagine that an alternative world and a different system of knowing are possible."from the Introduction The burgeoning field of postcolonial studies argues that most theology has been formed in dominant cultures, laden intrinsically with imperializing structures. An essential task facing theology, thus, is to "decolonize" the mind and free Christianity from colonizing bias and structures. Here, in this truly groundbreaking study, highly respected feminist theologian Kwok Pui-Lan offers the first full-length theological treatment of what it means to do postcolonial feminist theology. She explains her methodological basis and explores several specific topics, including Christology, pluralism, and creation.
