In Resisting Occupation, international scholars discuss the radical
denial of human flourishing caused by the occupation of mind, body,
spirit, and land. They explore how religious perspectives can be,
and often are, constructed by occupiers to justify their actions,
perpetuate exploitation, and domesticate indigenous landholders. In
the name of Christianization and civilization, which has proven to
be a global phenomenon beyond time and space, a consistent
domestication process is established. The colonized are taught to
want, to yearn for, and to embrace their occupation, seeing
themselves through the eyes of their colonizers. Writing from
different spots around the globe, the scholars of this book
demonstrate how occupation, a synonym for empire, is manifested
within their social context and reveal unity in their struggle for
liberation. Recognizing that where there is oppression, there is
resistance, the contributors turn to religion. While questioning
the logic, rationale, theology, and epistemology of the empire's
religion, they nonetheless seek the liberative response of
resistance - at times using the very religion of the occupiers.
