Published Issues of ChristianityNext

Identity, Visibility, & Invisibility

People of color live between two or more cultures which results in fragmented identity. Identity issues for people of color affect all aspects of their lives. The uprootedness from migration on the one hand, and dislocated white-centric educational curriculum on the other put them in a liminal space. Considering that ministry flows out of one’s being, reclaiming one’s individual and collective identities matter.
