Reviews
"""Caribbean Theology has long been the radical, decolonial, resistance hermeneutic that has defined the intent of a people to be free of the machinations of colonialism. This important new book by Carlton Turner represents the latest iteration of Caribbean Theology. It offers a bold and imaginative restatement for the necessity for a liberationist theological project committed to the freeing of poor and marginalised peoples."" -- Prof Anthony Reddie ""Engaging in theological reflection on the experiences of Caribbean people is a special responsibility of Caribbean theologians. I congratulate Dr.Turner for engaging in this task and producing a book that will certainly make a significant contribution to the Caribbean theological project. His theological insights into Caribbean expressions of faith and hope has enabled him to produce a work that will be a valuable resource for persons engaging in theological reflection in a Caribbean context. I highly commend this work to persons in the Caribbean and beyond who have an interest in understanding the connection between faith and experience that has shaped the people of the Caribbean."" -- The Most Rev'd Dr John Holder “…provides for the reader a comprehensive panoply of themes, issues, challenges, and imaginative ideas that clearly emerge from any serious study and reflection on contextuality in the Caribbean. His summary review of the Caribbean’s geo-political history and identity is reinforced by extensive reflections on earlier reviews and socio-theological assertions of an older generation of Caribbean theologians… I genuinely recommend this volume” -- Kortright Davis"
