The Postcolonialism and Religions series by its very name bridges the secular with the sacred through hybrid, interstitial, and contrapuntal inquiries. The series features the scholarship of indigenous scholars working at the intersections of postcolonial theories, theologies, and religions. The editors welcome authors around the world in an effort to move beyond and interrogate a historical North American and Euro-centric postcolonial studies disciplinary dominance. The series seeks to foster subaltern voices especially from Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the liquid continent.

This book began in the course of a major revision of a dissertation submitted to the Toronto School of Theology at the University of Toronto. In plodding along, I realized that my emerging vision for that work was leading to another book altogether—a (sometimes) happy circumstance not uncommon for writers, I’m told. And so I released for publication the dissertation with revisions of a more modest scale, and embarked with earnest on my new quest.
