Ties That Bind - African American and Hispanic American/Latino/a Theologies in Dialogue (Paperback)

The latter half of the twentieth century saw the development of
liberationist and progressive theologies whose aim is both to
understand life and to enhance it by focusing attention on the ways
in which certain groups and ethnic minorities suffer injustices
that are traceable to political economy and culture. Although
African-American and Hispanic/Latino(a) theologies emerged side by
side, the development and analysis of theology within these ethnic
groups occurred independently of each other. That is to say,
African-American and Hispanic/Latino(a) theologians and religious
scholars have rarely inquired into the possibility and desirability
of a cross-cultural dialogue between these two communities.
Acknowledging both the previous lack of substantive dialogue and
the present need for coalition among disadvantaged groups, five
African-American and five Hispanic/Latino(a) theologians here
explore their common historical and cultural heritage and their
similar chronicle of struggle and affirmation. The aim is develop
overarching meaning systems that encourage and sustain holistic
imagination, notions of self and communal integrity, social
activism, and solidarity. Among the topics treated are the core
themes, concerns, and historical development of these two
theologies; the roles played by scripture, tradition, imagination,
and individual and collective experience; popular religion;
Womanist and Mujerista theologies; ways of dealing with pain,
suffering, and subjugation; and, finally, strategies for building
bridges between communities of struggle.>
