This excellent book shows the great variety and the prophetic insight of Liberation Theologies and heralds renewed hope for poor, oppressed and marginalised peoples in all corners of the globe. A must read! - Anthony G. Reddie, Editor, Black Theology: An International Journal, Author, SCM Core Text: Black Theology
