The Rise and Demise of Black Theology

More about the book

Challenging the adequacy of Black and Womanist Theologies, Alistair Kee argues that these frameworks overlook critical analyses of class and economic oppression, while being overly focused on race and gender. He critiques Black Theology for its complacency with American capitalism and its romanticized view of Africa, suggesting that it fails to address the real impoverishment faced by black Americans. Kee advocates for a shift in perspective, urging black communities to leverage their political and consumer power to influence policies for the betterment of the black poor in America, Africa, and the global south.
