Description

Postcolonial theology has emerged as a vibrant field of study, bringing together intellectual and political energy. This collection brings together theologians and biblical scholars to engage with Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak's thought, catalyzing diverse theological and exegetical projects.

The volume includes a "topography" of postcolonial theology, introductory essays, transcriptions of public dialogues with Spivak on theology and religion, and original essays that appropriate her work for theological and ethical reflection. The focus is also placed on Spivak's concept of "planetarity", a vital idea in the field of postcolonial studies.

With its diverse range of perspectives and projects, this collection offers a unique insight into the intersection of theology, postcolonial theory, and planetarity.
