Black theology of liberation and the economy of life

Abstract

The original sin of capitalism is its relationship with racism, a repugnant expression of White supremacy, therefore to engage the metaphysics of neoliberal economics one must have to confront the symbiotic relationship between racism and capitalism with White racial supremacy as a causal factor. In the context of Empire, the question is not about the death of humanity, but the death of black African humanity for the life of humanity. Unmasking Christianized fetishes of neoliberal structures that have the capacity to absorb the whole body, Black Theology of liberation, by locating itself in zones of the will to live by the life-lessened oppressed, is a theology of life, the paper argues.
