PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Catherine Keller (Afterword By) Catherine Keller is a professor of constructive theology at the Theological School of Drew University. In her teaching, lecturing, and writing, she develops the relational potential of a theology of becoming. Her books reconfigure ancient symbols of divinity for the sake of a planetary conviviality—a life together across vast webs of difference. Thriving in the interplay of ecological and gender politics, of process cosmology, poststructuralist philosophy and religious pluralism, her work is both deconstructive and constructive in strategy. She is author of several books, including Facing Apocalypse: Climate, Democracy and Other Last Chances (2021); Cloud of the Impossible: Negative Theology and Planetary Entanglements (2014); Face of the Deep: A Theology of Becoming (2003), and many other essays and articles.

Ngwa is the author of The Hermeneutics of the ‘Happy’ Ending in Job 42:7–17 (2005); co-editor of Navigating African Biblical Hermeneutics: Trends and Themes from Our Pots and Calabashes (2018); and Let My People Live: An Africana Reading of Exodus (2022).

Life Under the Baobab Tree goes a very long way in healing the wounds of people of African descent who in diverse ways collectively have been bruised and battered by homogenization, amputation, and erasure. The rich, complex, and variegated Africana experience is captured beautifully in this transdisciplinary anthology in which the powerful African image of the Baobab tree is the working metaphor that compellingly images the work. This text is a must-read for anyone who wishes to experience the fullness of the global African experience.---Emmanuel Y. Lartey, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Pastoral Theology & Spiritual Care, Candler School of Theology & Graduate Division of Religion, Emory University Breathtaking in its creative framing of Africanness and Blackness as vital, resilient remembrances of--and critical responses to--the abundance of life! This volume features a dazzling array of theoretical frameworks, voices, identities, practices, interpretive strategies, and expressions that augment the distinctive positioning of religious thinking and valuing within Africana Studies. While offering unflinching analyses of antiblackness and its defining disposition in the past and present, Life Under the Baobab Tree also intimates at possibilities emerging from the generative dimensions of life itself. The lucid accounts and claims of diasporic reality represented in these pages are both instructive and thought-provoking.---Carol Wayne White, author of Black Lives and Sacred Humanity Toward an African American Religious Naturalism
