About This Book

This book arises from the desire to connect with each other, more specically, to connect as african, afrodiasporic and amerindian women. We start from a common experience for all of us, we are black/african/amerindian christian and theologians women. This means that we are resisting and re-existing inside the monocultural and eurocentric christianism, creating new forms to narrate the perception and the action of divine Ruah and, overall, saying our own image and importance in the history of redemption. To be an african woman, an afrodiasporic woman and an amerindian woman and, at the same time, hold the christian faith for many people means denying their own identity. After all, for centuries the christian theology and Bible were instrumentalized to subjugate woman's body, especially a non-white woman's body, considered inferior than the man's body. Thereby, this book brings a multiplicity of voices historically silent that finds in the theology a form to speak about themselves, the other and the divinity. The Black Feminist Theology and the Indigenous Theology appears as a form of resistance of women who ghts and recreate the existence from the margins of history and the hegemonic rhetoric of christianism in its monocultural, patriarchal and racist version. The feminist theology here sketched is, also, a testimony of liberation strength of the christian faith and the action of divine Ruah that enriches the hope, the faith and the charity of relegated people to periphery of the world.
