Persisting effects of colonialism present a challenge to reconciliation efforts in settler-colonial societies. This book draws particular attention to the coloniality of knowledge in multicultural churches and denominations. Despite its ability to connect, English is here regarded as an obstacle to deeper cross-cultural understanding and appreciation. The findings of this ethnographic study reveal how ? motivated by a ?Hope for transformation from within? ? racial integration often took precedence over equity. Eurocentric leanings were found to be both acknowledged and downplayed. With the emphasis on inclusion and upliftment, the equally sought-after cultural diversity was limited by the inadvertent setting up of boundaries, particularly regarding language and theology. Grohmann concludes that the perceptible but not prominent mode of choosing vulnerability, i.e. relating on other people?s terms, constitutes a promising alternative to conventional ways of tackling inequalities. This decolonial approach to reconciliation would have the potential to advance both equity and equality. About the author Dr. Marcus Grohmann is a post-doctoral researcher at the Beyers Naudé Centre for Public Theology at Stellenbosch University. He explores how the coloniality of knowledge impacts on post-apartheid reconciliation as well as on relationships in the Church. 410 0$a(Re-)konstruktionen - Internationale und Globale Studien,$x2731-054X 606 $aAfrica?Politics and government 606 $aEthnology 606 $aAfrica?Religion 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aAfrican Politics 606 $aEthnography 606 $aAfrican Religions 606 $aPolitical Science of Religion 610 $aAfrica 610 $aHistory 615 0$aAfrica?Politics and government. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aAfrica?Religion. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 14$aAfrican Politics. 615 24$aEthnography. 615 24$aAfrican Religions. 615 24$aPolitical Science of Religion. 676 $a305.800968 700 $aGrohmann$b Marcus$01358156 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910725091003321 996 $aSeeking Reconciliation in a Context of Coloniality$93366947 997 $aUNINA
