Summary
<p>In this episode, Rakeem Shabazz speaks with Dwayne Omowale about his book Christ and the Wretched of the Earth. The conversation explores the historical roots of Christianity and challenges the idea that it is a European religion. They discuss how Christianity emerged in the ancient Afro-Asiatic world and how figures such as the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon fit into its broader historical narrative.The discussion also examines the contradictory role Christianity has played throughout history. While European empires used missionaries and religious institutions to support colonization and domination, oppressed people have also drawn inspiration from Christian teachings in their struggles for liberation. The episode highlights figures such as Marcus Garvey, Sam Sharpe, Nat Turner, and Bishop Henry McNeal Turner, as well as the role of the Ethiopian Church and the AME Church in movements for Black freedom. The conversation reflects on how faith, resistance, and empire have intersected across centuries.Link to book: https://www.amazon.com/Christ-Wretched-Earth-Dwayne-Omowale/dp/B0FRY6Z5HP</p>
