What it means in North America as an aspect of political theology in a situation of oppression is brilliantly expounded by Cone in the introductory essay to this collection. African theology has long been with us, but its new struggle for expression in Christian theology in independent Africa is equally brilliantly outlined by Wilmore in the second half of the introductory essay. The situation in South Africa is different from the situation in North America and independent Africa. Yet both ring bells for us in South Africa. South Africa is a part of Africa, where African culture and the traditional religions and values are by no means dead. Thus we feel what Wilmore says in our bones. But we are not independent. Here there is still vicious racism and oppression of black people - i.e. all people whom the ruling whites classify as non-whites. This is a political situation calling for a theological response to this oppression of blacks. Thus we feel also what Cone says in our bones. Black Theology in South Africa, as this collection of essays shows clearly, is a unique combination of the theology of disinheritance and oppression and the theology of culture. It is North America's Black Theology and independent Africa's African Theology in which politics and 'culture' are deeply and inextricably intertwined. But Black Theology is not a new phenomenon in South Africa. It has been with us almost since the Churches from the white west arrived on our soil. We have had our Dwanes, Molcones and Mzimbas. We have known also the Ethiopian Movement and more recently the ever-escalating number of African independent churches. (Vorwort) ISBN 0620005580
