At a time when ideas like "post-racial society" and
"#BlackLivesMatter" occupy the same space, scholars of black
American faith are provided a unique opportunity to regenerate and
imagine theological frameworks that confront the epistemic effects
of racialization and its confluence with the theological
imagination. Decolonizing Revelation contributes to this task by
rethinking or "taking a second look" at the cultural production of
the blues. Unlike other examinations of the blues that privilege
the hermeneutic of race, this work situates the blues spatially,
offering a transracial interpretation that looks to establish an
option for disentangling racial ideology from the theological
imagination. This book dislocates race in particular, and modernity
in general, as the primary means by which God's self-disclosure is
read across human history. Rather than looking to the experience of
antiblack racism as revelational, the work looks to a people group,
blues people, and their spatial, sonic, and sensual activities.
Following the basic theological premise that God is a God of life,
Burnett looks to the spaces where blues life occurs to construct a
decolonial option for a theology of revelation.
