In response to the historical situation of colonial modernity, the book offers a decolonial mode of theological reflection and names a historical instance of salvation that stands in conflict with Western modernity. Seeking a new starting point for theological reflection and praxis, Joseph Drexler-Dreis turns to the work of Frantz Fanon and James Baldwin. Rejecting a politics of inclusion into the modern world-system, Fanon and Baldwin engage reality from commitments that Drexler-Dreis describes as orientations of decolonial love. These orientations expose the idolatry of Western modernity, situate the human person in relation to a reality that exceeds modern\/colonial significations, and catalyze and authenticate historical movement in conflict with the modern world-system. The orientations of decolonial love in the work of Fanon and Baldwin—whose work is often perceived as violent from the perspective of Western modernity—inform theological commitments and reflection, and particularly the theological image of salvation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eDecolonial Love\u003c\/i\u003e offers to theologians a foothold within the modern\/colonial context from which to commit to the sacred and, from a historical encounter with the divine mystery, face up to and take responsibility for the legacies of colonial domination and violence within a struggle to transform reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: What Is Decolonial Love? 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart I: Christian Theology in the Networks of Colonial Modernity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eColonial Modernity as a Historical Context 17\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Entanglement of Christian Theology and the Coloniality of Power: The Possibilities of a Response 31\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eDecolonial Openings in Theologies of Liberation 49\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart II: Decolonial Love\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4.\u003c\/b\u003e Frantz Fanon's Decolonial Love: A New Humanism in Historical Struggle 73\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5.\u003c\/b\u003e James Baldwin's Decolonial Love: Uncovering the Revelation of the Beat 100\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePart III: Theological Reflection as a Decolonial Option\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6.\u003c\/b\u003e The Theological Pedagogy of Frantz Fanon and James Baldwin 119\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7. \u003c\/b\u003eDecolonizing Salvation 135\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e: Sharpening Decolonial Options in the Present Moment 159\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/b\u003e 163\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNotes\u003c\/b\u003e 167\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBibliography\u003c\/b\u003e 201\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIndex\u003c\/b\u003e 211\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580330471704,"sku":"9780823281886","price":66.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/decolonial-love-salvation-in-colonial-modernity-hardback-9780823281886","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
