Unfinished Business
Cross-Cultural Service as a Source for Intellectual Bridge-Building
The author accepted an invitation from James H. Robinson to participate in Operation Crossroads Africa (OCA) in 1971. She had a desire to travel to Africa in memory of her ancestors who had been forcibly driven from their homeland, and her OCA group was the largest group of African American Crossroaders since the program began in 1958. The lessons she learned building a library alongside Liberian coworkers apply to her role today as a theological…

Christian Imperialism and the Transatlantic Slave Trade
Christian Imperialism and the Transatlantic Slave Trade Katie Geneva Cannon (bio) The transatlantic trade in Africans was founded on Christianity. Religion was key in motivating Prince Henry of Portugal, later called Henry, "the Navigator" (1394–1460), to put in motion Europe's aggressive and ruthless expeditions to Africa. Henry was not only the governor of Algrave Province, who managed a large economic infrastructure based on the unbridled gras…

As a pe…
Roundtable Discussion

The what, how, and why of the womanist definition bear broad application, indicating that a womanist is a self-naming sensibility that is not coerced.1 Black feminists and other feminists of color embrace the label "womanist"—and the epistem…
Womanist Works in Word
Living it out Womanist Works in Word
It is remarkable that twenty years ago African American women in the American Academy of Religion (AAR) and the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL) decided to carve out living space as womanists. Our experience as doctoral students and the liberation wisdom of 1985 encouraged it. A lot of the credit belongs to Cheryl Townsend Gilkes, who served as the first national convener of the Womanist Approaches to Religion and Society group of the AAR, me…
