Description

The Rise and Demise of Black Theology by Routledge offers a critical examination of Black Theology's evolution from its emergence in the 1960s as a response to black consciousness. This scholarly work traces how Black Theology developed differently across regions - as a critique of power in South Africa, a political theology of black culture in the UK, and most prominently in the USA, where it was originally influenced by Black Power and critiques of white racism. The author challenges contemporary claims that Black Theology and Womanist Theology have successfully broadened their perspectives to address oppression across race, gender, and class lines. Through rigorous analysis, this book presents a provocative reassessment of how these theological frameworks have approached fundamental questions of identity, power, and social justice, making it essential reading for scholars, theology students, and anyone interested in the intellectual history of religious responses to systemic inequality and black consciousness movements.

Key Features

The Rise and Demise of Black Theology examines Black Theology's origins in the 1960s and its development as a response to black consciousness movements across multiple continents.

This Routledge publication critiques both Black Theology and Womanist Theology, arguing their analyses of race and gender remain inadequate despite claims of expanded perspective.

The book traces how Black Theology took distinct forms in South Africa, the UK, and the USA, with American Black Theology originally shaped by Black Power ideology and anti-racism critique.

Routledge's offering provides scholarly analysis for readers studying religious responses to oppression, systemic racism, and the intersection of theology with social justice movements.
