Black theology and cartography of afro-descendant spiritual resistances

Abstract

This article seeks to take up the decolonial critique in the theological doing and thus to remove from invisibility the spiritual struggles and resistances of the black community. An important step is to unveil racism as the main fracture in intersubjectivity that impedes the advent of our common humanization and, at the same time, recover the cartography of resistance of the black community that creates communities based on solidarity in suffering. A liberation theology that is sensitive to the struggles and resistances of the Afro-diasporic community must be committed to disengaging from the matrix of colonial power and, evidently, from the eurocentrism of traditional theology and open itself to other epistemologies. The research will consist of a bibliographic analysis, giving primacy to black thought, that is, an interdisciplinary perspective.
