| dc.description | This book is an examination of the history and concerns of a contemporary network of African women theologians known as the Circle of Concerned African Women Theologians. It is, as far as I am aware, the first time that the production of the Circle has been critically explored, though Mercy Oduyoye herself has recently published an introduction to African Women’s Theologies (Oduyoye 2001), and it has been an enormous privilege to be part of the European interface on an African movement. I have placed their work in both an historical and a contemporary context, with the requisite sensitivities deployed to cultural, gendered and racial meaning. In historical terms, the point of departure is the current of ideas and interventions, which have been a part of the continent’s life since the Western missionary intrusion of the high imperial era (1880–1930). Such is the transnational nature of the insertion of Christianity into the African continent that I believe the presence of this part of Africa’s history is sufficiently replete with ambiguity and latent disease both within and without the continent that I urge the reader to attend to that context in the reading of what follows | - |
