"Mediating Black religious studies, spirituality studies, and liberation theology, Philip Butler explores what might happen if Black people in the United States merged technology and spirituality in their fight towards materializing liberating realities. The discussions shaping what it means for humans to exist with technology and as part of technology are already underway: transhumanism suggests that any use of technology to augment intellectual, psychological, or physical capability makes one transhuman. In an attempt to encourage Black people in the United States to become technological progenitors as a spiritual act, Butler asks whether anyone has ever been 'just' human? Butler then explores the implications of this question and its link to viewing the body as technology. Re-imagining incarnation as a relationship between vitality, biochemistry, and genetics, the book also takes a critical scientific approach to understanding the biological embodiment of Black spiritual practices. It shows how current and emerging technologies might align with the generative biological states of Black spiritualities in order to concretely disrupt and dismantle oppressive societal structures."--

Cushites in the Hebrew Bible offers a reassessment of Cushite ethnographic representations in the biblical literature as a counterpoint to misconceptions about Africa and people of African descent which are largely a feature of the modern age. Whereas current interpretations have tended to emphasize unfavourable portraits of the people biblical writers called Cushites, Kevin Burrell illuminates the biblical perspective through a comparative assessment of ancient and modern forms of identity construction. Past and present modes of defining difference betray both similarities and differences to ethnic representations in the Hebrew Bible, providing important contexts for understanding the biblical view. This book contributes to a clearer understanding of the theological, historical, and ethnic dynamics underpinning representations of Cushites in the Hebrew Bible.

Some of the studies in this publication excavate lost or disappearing indigenous toponyms. Those researchers contribute in a very concrete way to the preservation of indigenous toponyms, and thereby also the associated cultural heritage. The other papers explore how place naming functions as a mechanism with which to create mental maps and exert socio-political power.

Martin Luther King s'est attaqué au nom de ses convictions religieuses et par des méthodes d'action non-violentes à la ségrégation raciale qui sévissait alors aux Etats-Unis. Dans le même temps, Malcolm X prônait une révolte violente pour que les Noirs arrachent par la force leurs droits fondamentaux à l'égalité et à la citoyenneté. James H. Cone est l'un des premiers à avoir travaillé ces questions de l'émancipation des noirs sur un plan strictement théologique.Son ouvrage Black theology and black power (Théologie noire et pouvoir des Noirs) paru en 1969 soit un an après l'assassinat de King, a marqué un véritable tournant dans la réflexion théologique, une forme d'émancipation par rapport à la théologie élaborée jusque-là par les blancs. Le théologien suisse Henry Mottu a bien connu James Cone à l'Union Theological Seminary de New-York, et a été témoin de ces débats passionnés.Il montre dans cet ouvrage que le racisme ne cesse d'imprégner nos habitudes, nos moeurs, notre langage, des deux côtés de l'Atlantique, ce qui doit nous rendre très vigilants. James Cone est l'un des auteurs qui l'a révélé et qui a indiqué un chemin - un chemin coûteux - pour surmonter ce racisme. Son travail a inspiré notamment la théologie féministe, qui s'attaque à une autre forme de ségrégation.Au moment où les Etats-Unis connaissent des exactions à répétition de policiers ou de suprématistes blancs à l'encontre des Noirs, ce livre ouvre une réflexion salutaire.
