Chapter 1 Revolution and the Death of Postcolonial Theory
Chapter 2 Metaphysical Anthropology, “Natural Science,” and Otherization:
Chapter 3 Morality and Otherization
Chapter 4 Epistemology and Otherization
Chapter 5 Some Concluding Thoughts
Roberto Alejandro’s provocative text brings his sensibilities as a journalist covering woke activism to bear upon the struggles of early Christian activists with a deep academic rigor. Weaving together the voices of Baltimore, early Church theologians, and post-colonial theory, his argument is as simple as it is bold: what passes for today as woke activism repeats the mistakes of the early Christians. This book has the power to rethink not only what constitutes ‘activism’ proper, but how we engage with Christian theology in its historical, philosophical, and contemporary forms.
