Decolonizing Ecotheology: Indigenous and Subaltern Challenges, by S. Lily Mendoza and Georg Zachariah, eds.

"Decolonizing Ecotheology: Indigenous and Subaltern Challenges" edited by S. Lily Mendoza and Georg Zachariah is a groundbreaking book that explores the need to decolonize the discourse of ecotheology. While mainstream ecotheology is increasingly willing to listen to Indigenous voices, it often fails to let ecotheology speak from the perspective of Indigenous experiences and practices. The book features fourteen perspectives that narrate everyday Indigenous Christianity and address issues such as forced displacement, Christianization, and climate change. The contributors offer alternative accounts of ecotheology based on Indigenous wisdom, historical examples of Indigeneity, feminist theologies, policy and ethics, and the concept of cosmopolitics. The book challenges readers to confront the complexities and risks of decolonizing ecotheology and offers new possibilities for reimagining the field. [Extracted from the article]
