Does God Have Colour?

For centuries, the West has had a dominating effect upon the ideologies of the rest of the world. The prerequisite to the global hegemony of what is essentially 'white' culture has been the disempowerment of other cultures, other societies. other races. In his controversial book, Rhodes-Ebetalaye discusses the theological implications of such a skewed world order, and argues for the rightful re-empowerment of 'his' people, of Africans, by reclaiming and taking control of their own cultural and religious identities. Rhodes-Ebetalaye is in no way biased in his arguments and does not just point his finger at the West, but also directs his criticism at what he calls the 'bench-warmer' attitude of many Africans, and what is, in his view, a naïve and unquestioning mindset, a 'culture of syncretism'. Does God Have Colour? is an insightful read, which richly contributes to the current debates regarding Africa's future.
