Abstract
ABSTRACTAfter surveying Black theological treatments of postmodernity. This paper offers a reading of certain Derridean texts in a way that might be conducive to addressing the problem of racial aporetic logic in Black theology. Contextualized by this survey, my reading of Derrida will be governed by concerns pertinent to Black theology; mainly the concerns for the liberation of Black people. I do not want to offer Derrida as a corrective to Black theology. In this vein, the paper will conclude with a (re)turn to a Black theologian at home with postmodernism: Victor Anderson. Anderson's critique of ontological Blackness offers a postmodern Black theology that is both aligned with Derrida's philosophic concerns and enriches Derrida’s project insofar as it specifies racially Derrida's critique of aporia.
