    • Abstract:
      This essay offers a critical reflection on the challenges of addressing the concept of 'race,' and whether there is a post-racial era in which we are presently living. The essay demonstrates the interconnected nature of 'race,' as forming the destructive underpinning for the oppressive frameworks that have given rise to slavery, colonialism, caste discrimination, and economic exploitation. The essay proposes an interdisciplinary, practical theological approach to uncovering the often concealed ways in which racism and White privilege function in many Western democratic societies and within the Church.
