Liberation, (De)Coloniality, and Liturgical Practices Flipping the Song Bird Becca Whitla
New Approaches to Religion and Power Series Editor Joerg Rieger Vanderbilt University Nashville, TN, USA
While the relationship of religion and power is a perennial topic, it only continues to grow in importance and scope in our increasingly globalized and diverse world. Religion, on a global scale, has openly joined power struggles, often in support of the powers that be. But at the same time, religion has made major contributions to resistance movements. In this context, current methods in the study of religion and theology have created a deeper awareness of the issue of power: Critical theory, cultural studies, postcolonial theory, subaltern studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, and working class studies are contributing to a new quality of study in the field. This series is a place for both studies of particular problems in the relation of religion and power as well as for more general interpretations of this relation. It undergirds the growing recognition that religion can no longer be studied without the study of power. More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14754
