Subaltern Public Theology: Dalits and the Indian Public Sphere


Add your own review!

Overview

This book delves into the public character of public theology from the sites of subalternity, the excluded Dalit (non) public in the Indian public sphere.  Raj Bharat Patta employs a decolonial methodology and explores the topic in three parts: First, he engages with ‘theological contexts,’ by mapping global and Indian public theologies and critically analysing them. Next, he discusses ‘theological companions,’ and explains ‘theological subalternity’ and ‘subaltern public’ as companions for a subaltern public theology for India. Finally, Patta explains ‘theological contours’ by discussing subaltern liturgy as a theological account of the subaltern public and explores a subaltern public theology for India.
