“A book of tremendous courage and insight. Professor Vitor Westhelle presents a searing critique of modern colonial projects, lifts up subaltern voices, and offers resources in doing postcolonial theology. Exploring the philosophical foundations of what makes postcolonial theology possible, this book makes a significant contribution to advancing the discourse. I recommend this text for scholars and students and the educated public who want to know about cutting-edge thinking in contemporary theology.”

Theology
“This is a bold intervention in ecotheology, which often neglects Indigenous and subaltern perspectives and politics.

This is essential reading for decolonizing our minds and habits and for new insights to fight climate crisis.”

Written in an accessible way, this book can be used in classrooms, churches, and adult forums.”
