womanist theology

     

Womanist theology is a religious movement which reconsiers the traditions, practices, scriptures, and theologies with a special lens to empower and liberate African women in America. Womanist theology associates with and departs from Feminist theology and Black theology . The former's lack of attention to the everyday realities of Black and other women of color and the latter's lack of understanding of the full dimension of liberation for the special oppressions of Black women require bringing them together in Womanist Theology. The goals of womanist theology include interrogating the social construction of black womanhood in relation to the Black community and to assume a liberatory perspective so that African American women can live emboldened lives within the African American community and within the larger society. Some of its tasks are excavating the life stories of poor women of African descent in the church and to understanding the "languages" of black women. It is strongly associated with Black feminism. Womanist theology is not only for African women; it attempts to embrace women of colour all over the world.
