Reviews

"It offers a critical lens for preachers to understand thecomplexity of postcolonial political situations of our time and the ongoing influence of colonialism in political and theological discourse. Additionally, it provides postcolonial practices that resist the threats of empire and create a space in which people can reimagine themselves towards a different possible future based on postcolonial hope." - Homiletic Journal

"The final outstanding contribution of this volume is one not indicated by the title, although it will be unsurprising for anyone familiar with Kwok’s work. Her use of feminist and queer angles to correct and challenge masculine normativity in theology, postcolonial political theology and peacebuilding is impressive and infused throughout. This is a broad yet powerful book that challenges political theology and will hopefully reawaken it to a larger scope of topics and a better representation of voices." - Modern Believing

“Kwok Pui-lan’s Postcolonial Politics and Theology expands the horizons of political theology that are steeped in Eurocentric theories and Western colonial legacy by shifting theological locus to the geopolitical and social realities of the Global South. This comprehensive book could not come at a more relevant time. It is a must read for anyone who is interested in what radically reimagined contours of political theology have to offer from postcolonial and transnational perspectives.”—Nami Kim, Professor of Religious Studies, Spelman College

“A stunningly accessible and comprehensive map of postcolonial thought and global theology. With this text, Kwok Pui-lan gives us the gift of nourishing and insightful analyses of postcolonial geographies of race, class, gender, and sexuality that ‘challenge the Eurocentric preoccupation of political theology.”—Traci C. West, Professor of Christian Ethics and African American Studies, Drew Theological School
