Descriere & specificații

Description Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices come together in this volume to discuss both the wounds of colonial history and the opportunities for decolonization, reconciliation, and hope in the relationship between the church and Indigenous peoples across the Americas. Scholars and pastoral leaders from Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, Mexico, the United States, and Canada, and Indigenous peoples of Mapuche, Chiquitano, Tzeltal Maya, Oglala Sioux, Mi'kmaw, and Anishinaabe-Ojibwe reflect on the possibility of constructing decolonial theology and pastoral praxis, and on the urgent need for transformation of church structures and old theology. The book opens new horizons for different ways of thinking and acting, and for the emergence of a truly intercultural theology. ""This fascinating book shows how intercultural politics and intercultural faith are being understood throughout the Americas. It brings together critical social thinking, narratives due to experience and daily struggle, and spiritual and theological insights. . . . It is a polyphonic volume that makes each reader grow with questions and convictions. It has a clear focus: within societies and churches, transformation happens 'from below, ' and it includes prophetic paths in solidarity with indigenous communities."" --Diego Irarrazaval, Director (1981-2004) of the Aymara Institute in Peru ""This book charts a new path for understanding the legacy of Western European and Anglo North Atlantic colonialism.
