"This volume brings together reflections on citizenship, political violence, race, ethnicity and gender, by some of the most critical voices of our times. Detailed and wide-ranging individual reflections, take the writings of prominent Ugandan political theorist Mahmood Mamdani as a touchstone for thinking about the world from Africa. Contributors apply this theory to argue that we cannot make sense of the political contentions of difference, identity and citizenship today without understanding the legacies of colonial rule on our world. Chapters examine the persistence of the past, and how we must reckon with its tragedies, its injustices, and its utopias in order to chart a new politics; the politics of possible futures that are more inclusive and more egalitarian, and that can think of difference in more equitable ways. In a time when the call to decolonize knowledge, and politics rings loud and clear, this is both a timely and a crucial intervention"--

"At 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on election night 1988, NBC news anchor Tom Brokaw informed the country that they would soon know the outcome of 'one of the longest, bloodiest presidential campaigns that anyone can remember.' It was a landslide victory for George H.W. Bush over Michael Dukakis, and yet Bush would serve only one term, forever overshadowed in history by the man who made him vice president, by the man who defeated him, and even by his own son. The 1988 presidential race quickly receded into history, but it marked the emergence of negative campaigning, attack advertisements on television, and other key trends that came to define the elections that followed"--

"In many societies all over the world, an increasing polarization between contrasting groups can be observed. Polarization arises when a fear born of difference turns into 'us-versus-them' thinking and rules out any form of compromise. This volume addresses polarizations within societies as well as within churches, and asks the question: given these dynamics, what may be the calling of the church? The authors offer new approaches to polarizing debates on topics such as racism, social justice, sexuality and gender, euthanasia, and ecology and agriculture in various contexts.

"Our generation has seen a sharp return to the soil and earth. We see it in the rising popularity of forest schools, nature programs, junior rangers, homeopathy, and organic living. Yet not every step of this journey has been wholesome - not when it comes to our children's faith. Society has severed the connection between God and creation, but we as parents can reconnect the dots for our kids. God reveals himself to us through nature and through his Word; using these tools, we can equip our kids with a resilient faith rooted in the wonder of creation"--
