| Description | Race and inequality have always been sensitive topics in South African society due to its colonial past, diverse social composition and apartheid legacy of legal discrimination against people based on their skin colour. Racial tensions seem to be escalating in South African society, and disturbing racialised rhetoric and slogans are re-entering the political and social landscape. Another alarming phenomenon has been violent incidents of xenophobia against African immigrants. The question probed by this book is: What perspectives can theology offer in addressing the roots of racism, inequality and xenophobia in South Africa, and how can it and the church contribute to reconciliation and a sense of togetherness among South African citizens? | |
