Social historians have seldom analyzed the problematic of race from a primarily theological perspective. This volume undertakes a critical examination of explicitly theological and confessional perspectives for understanding and transforming North American racism.\u003cbr\u003e Rosario Rodriguez offers insights from Latino\/a theology for broader scholarly and social discussions concerning racism, borders, and immigration. The first to analyze race and racism from a Latino\/a theological perspective, the volume makes use of a broadened conceptualization of \"mestizaje,\" or mutual cultural exchange, to challenge the church to recognize the effects of racial and ethnic particularity in all theological construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NYU Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52739409608984,"sku":"9780814776117","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/racism-and-god-talk-a-latino-a-perspective-paperback-softback-9780814776117","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
