This book celebrates the legacy of theologian Marcella Althaus-Reid
(1952-2009), and her particular influence in Asia and South
America. Her work has served as a significant source of inspiration
to many scholars, ministers, and activists challenging
heteronormative theologies, but her sudden death in 2009 cut short
the nascent and elegant theological thought for which she so
valued. Contributors to this book succinctly investigate aspects of
the vast work of Althaus-Reid by discussing issues of gender, race,
and sexuality in Asia and South America, utilising the liberation,
queer and indecent theologies she espoused. Each chapter
demonstrates how her legacy is alive and thriving today, but also
points towards to the potential future impact of her prolific
theological output. By highlighting the ground-breaking work of
Althaus-Reid, this book will serve as a key reference for scholars
of Liberation, Queer and Indecent Theology, as well as Asian and
Latinx religions.

Japan has witnessed the arrival of thousands of immigrants, since
the 1990s, from Latin America, especially from Brazil and Peru.
Along with immigrants from other parts of the world, they all
express the new face of Japan - one of multiculturality and
multi-ethnicity. Newcomers are having a strong impact in local
faith communities and playing an unexpected role in the development
of communities. This book focuses on the role that faith and
religious institutions play in the migrants' process of settlement
and integration. The authors also focus on the impact of
immigrants' religiosity amidst religious groups formerly
established in Japan. Religion is an integral aspect of the
displacement and settlement process of immigrants in an increasing
multi-ethnic, multicultural and pluri-religious contemporary Japan.
Religious institutions and their social networks in Japan are
becoming the first point of contact among immigrants. This book
exposes and explores the often missed connection of the positive
role of religion and faith-based communities in facilitating varied
integrative ways of belonging for immigrants. The authors highlight
the faith experiences of immigrants themselves by bringing their
voices through case studies, interviews, and ethnographic research
throughout the book to offer an important contribution to the
exploration of multiculturalism in Japan.
