Demonstrates the critical use of religion to challenge oppression
in the U.S. In the nascent United States, religion often functioned
as a justifier of oppression. Yet while religious discourse
buttressed such oppressive activities as slavery and the
destruction of native populations, oppressed communities have also
made use of religion to critique and challenge this abuse. As
Liberation Theologies in the United States demonstrates, this
critical use of religion has often taken the form of liberation
theologies, which use primarily Christian principles to address
questions of social justice, including racism, poverty, and other
types of oppression. Stacey M. Floyd-Thomas and Anthony B. Pinn
have brought together a stellar group of liberation theology
scholars to provide a synthetic introduction to the historical
development, context, theory, and goals of a range of U.S.-born
liberation theologies. Chapters cover Black Theology, Womanist
Theology, Latino/Hispanic Theology, Latina Theology, Asian American
Theology, Asian American Feminist Theology, Native American
Theology, Native Feminist Theology, Gay and Lesbian Theology, and
Feminist Theology. Contributors: Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Mary McClintock
Fulkerson, Nancy Pineda-Madrid, Robert Shore-Goss, Andrea Smith,
Andrew Sung Park, George (Tink) Tinker, and Benjamin Valentin.
