Descrizione
Riepilogo:This article explores the political implications of the intersection of African Political Theology and critical race discourse. Its main argument is that, African Neo/Pentecostal Political Theology highlights that moral and political subjectivity in the context of a necropolitical postcolonial Africa is a result of the intersection of a complex set of practices linked to oneself, others, the state, and G/god. Moreover, in its concern with political well-being, African Neo/Pentecostal Political Theology further highlights the black racial identity of its adherents as part of its ideological participation in the broader project of black emancipation. Such a centering of race not only de-abstracts African Political Theology and its Neo/Pentecostal subjects from their specific socio-political location of Africa, including all the implications of such a location. This centering is important to foreground also because it provides a different dimension through which to apprehend and comprehend the rise of Neo/Pentecostalism on the continent.
