The subject of race and identity is a burning issue which continues
to occupy the attention not only of South Africans but also the
wider residents of the continent of Africa and those who are
Africans in the Diaspora. The outburst of xenophobic attacks
against foreigners mostly of Black African origins in some
communities of Kwa-Zulu Natal and areas of Johannesburg during 2008
and 2015 has raised questions about the social cohesion of South
African society linked to unresolved structural identity issues
bequeathed by the nation's past colonial and apartheid legacy. This
publication argues that there is an embedded schizophrenic identity
crisis within the society that requires scholarly interrogation.
The chapters assemble scholarly voices from different ethnic groups
that examine the central research question of this study: Who is an
African? Within the wider Southern African context, identity and
ethnicity politics are framing nationalist economic policies and
are impacting on social cohesion within many countries. Writing
from different social and racial locations the authors have
critically engaged with the central question and offer some
important insights that can serve as a resource for all nations
grappling with issues of race, ethnicity, identity constructed
politics, and social cohesion.

Mission is contrived from and performed over lived contexts, but
the visions that guide and drive mission are oftentimes blinded by
power, position, protection, and plenitude. This collection visits
those matters with queering attention to the shadows empires cast
over the contexts of mission, and to the collusion and complicity
of Christians and churches with empires past (as in the case of
Rome) and present (as in the case of the United States of America).
In the interests of those in mission fields who survived, but
continue to agonize under the burdens of empires, the contributors
to this work dare to re-vision the course and cause of mission.
Writing from minoritized settings in Africa, Asia, the Americas,
and Oceania, the authors interweave the principles and practices of
mission with the opportunities in decolonial theology and
hermeneutics, minoritized and migrant Christologies, repatriation
and the courage to get up and get out, indigenous insights and
wisdom, mission archives, stories of resistance and endurance in
zones of contact and violence, restless souls and returning
spirits, and life-centered spiritual (en)countering. In Mission and
Context as with previous volumes in this series-empires do not have
the final word, nor the final world.
