"In A Liberation for the Earth: Race, Climate and Cross, Anupama Ranawana identifies the way unfair power structures lead to ecological sin. Her "rage" toward environmental injustice will spark a passion for others to engage in justice making. By making the connection between "systems of enslavement, expropriation, colonization and indigenous genocide," she makes a cogent case for racial injustice as that which fuels a disproportionate impact for the current climate crisis." -- CL Nash

"This is the book that I have longed to read. Ranawana’s poetic and prophetic articulation of the theological need for rage as a response to climate injustice, awoke a cry that I had held deep within myself. Deftly weaving together the threads of liberation and eco-theologies with narratives of empire and colonialism from the past to the present, Ranawana draws the reader into a journey that is thought-provoking, challenging and illuminating. A must read for ministers, theologians, climate campaigners and anyone grappling with how to respond in a time of ecological disruption." -- Grace Thomas

"In reading A Liberation for the Earth, A.M. Ranawana gives us more than a theoretical methodology, she demonstrates how we can apply the encyclical Laudato Si′ alongside a liberation and decolonial theology in which all are in conversation with justice narratives. It is an enlightening and moving read that is a welcome addition to the study of racialized discourses within biblical hermeneutics." -- Dionne Gravesand, Christian Aid
