Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism by Jonathan Tran | Modern Theology

Tran’s Asian Americans and the Spirit of Racial Capitalism is a work in constructive Christian theology that presents two competing scripts on race for life on this planet. The first is characterized by racial capitalism, where the dynamics of use, identity, and justification facilitate the domination and exploitation of the “have-nots” by the “haves.” Tran uses the Christian doctrine of sin to characterize this kind of political economy as the privation of God’s deep political economy in creation and salvation (16, 275). The alternative vision to the fallen political economy of racial capitalism is the dynamics of participation, revelation, and reparation in and through God’s deep economy.
