This captivating study engages two of the most influential theologians of the twentieth century: Karl Barth, the Swiss Protestant theologian, who constructed his theology “from above” and engaged the powers in the background of Nazi Germany, and James H. Cone, the father of Black Theology in America, who constructed his theology “from below” and confronted white racism—the most intractable issue in America’s history. In this three-volume project, Carr employs the aesthetic thinking of the jazz legend Thelonious Monk to reconceptualize, restructure, and advance the theologies of Barth and Cone. In this final volume, Carr appeals to Thelonious Monk’s tune “Misterioso” as the analogical framework for exploring the freedom of God as the melodic foundation for black liberation. Monk’s mode of musical thinking encourages the jazz artist in us all to play in the mystery of God’s freedom as the true ground for living freely within the world of the principalities and powers.

In this three-volume project, Carr employs the aesthetic thinking of the jazz legend Thelonious Monk to reconceptualize, restructure, and advance the theologies of Barth and Cone. In this second volume, Carr appeals to Monk’s tune “’Round Midnight” as the analogical framework for articulating the meaning between Christ, the cantus firmus, and the sociopolitical histories of Karl Barth and James Cone. Monk’s encouragement to “improvise on the melody” is heard as the melodic foundation for a new form of christological reflection.
Eine umfassende Analyse der Stellung des Deutschen in Afrika hat bis heute nicht vorgelegen. Mit dieser Arbeit wird diese Lücke geschlossen. Dabei wird die Stellung des Deutschen vor dem Hintergrund der bildungs- und sprachpolitischen Gegebenheiten sowie der deutschen Auswärtigen Kulturpolitik in Afrika dargestellt. Berücksichtigt wird die Situation des Deutschen sowohl in den Bereichen Schule und Hochschule als auch im außerschulischen Bereich. Der Autor verfolgt mit seinem Buch zwei Hauptziele: Erstens soll ein länderübergreifender Gesamtüberblick über die Stellung der deutschen Sprache in Afrika gegeben werden. Diesem Ziel dient auch der ausführliche Statistikteil. Zweitens soll mit den in Form von Handbuchartikeln aufgebauten Länderberichten die Stellung des Deutschen in den einzelnen afrikanischen Staaten näher beleuchtet werden. Den Abschluß der Arbeit bildet eine umfangreiche Forschungsbibliographie.
