<p>"For this South African, more and more aware of the essential creoleness of our own society locked in battle with our racist, separatist, disconnected past, this book is a revelation and an invitation to think anew about things that were always so obvious yet so elusive. The personal stories strengthen rather than distract from the core argument and rhythm of this wonderful book, brimming over with fresh, provocative, and delightful insights. This book will change hearts and minds." --Allan Aubrey Boesak, South African Black liberation theologian and human rights activist</p><p>"<em>Becoming Like Creoles</em> recognizes how intersectionality and cultural understandings open our eyes to a better reality. The authors sound a prophetic call to confront injustice. As personal narratives weave into biblical and theological understandings of justice, this profoundly important and insightful book challenges us to rethink and reimagine a just world." --Grace Ji-Sun Kim, Associate Professor of Theology at Earlham School of Religion and the author or editor of 16 books, including <em>Embracing the Other</em>.</p><p>"DeYoung's writing never fails to invigorate my theological imagination--and <em>Becoming Like Creoles</em> is no exception! A wise collaboration between DeYoung and powerhouse thinker-leaders Jacqueline J. Lewis, Micky ScottBey Jones, Robyn Afrik, Sarah Thompson Nahar, Sindy Morales Garcia and 'Iwalani Ka'ai, this book plunged me deeper into the word creole, uncovering the many ways in which it can expand and guide my own personal transformation as well the community transformation for which I advocate. I definitely plan to use it both personally and professionally, and hope you will too!" --Christena Cleveland, Activist, public theologian, and director of the Center for Justice and Renewal</p><p>"<em>Becoming Like Creoles</em> presents a uniquely biblical model for our interracial/intercultural future that offers new life for both the oppressed and oppressor in a rehumanized community. In this important work, DeYoung masterfully blends six contemporary women of color in the narrative, so as to amplify their voices rather than appropriate them. Perhaps the most important question the book answers is whether whites can be recultured and rehumanized. The answer to this question brought me joy and hope for a reconciled future." --Randy Woodley, Indigenous speaker and author of <em>Shalom and the Community of Creation: An Indigenous Vision</em></p>
