Beyond Man reimagines the meaning and potential of a philosophy of
religion that better attends to the inextricable links among
religion, racism, and colonialism. An Yountae, Eleanor Craig, and
the contributors reckon with the colonial and racial implications
of the field's history by staging a conversation with Black,
Indigenous, and decolonial studies. In their introduction, An and
Craig point out that European-descended Christianity has
historically defined itself by its relation to the other while
paradoxically claiming to represent and speak to humanity in its
totality. The topics include secularism, the Eucharist's relation
to Blackness, and sixteenth-century Brazilian cannibalism rituals
as well as an analysis of how Mircea Eliade's conception of the
sacred underwrites settler colonial projects and imaginaries.
Throughout, the contributors also highlight the theorizing of
Afro-Caribbean thinkers such as Sylvia Wynter, C. L. R. James,
Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire whose work disrupts the normative
Western categories of religion and philosophy. Contributors. An
Yountae, Ellen Armour, J. Kameron Carter, Eleanor Craig, Amy
Hollywood, Vincent Lloyd, Filipe Maia, Mayra Rivera, Devin Singh,
Joseph R. Winters
