I’ve definitely seen theologies outside of South America be referred to as “a type of liberation theology”.
Over here, yes, because it's one of these words that people apply to everything. There are some groups outside South America which call themselves liberation theology but it's not a lot. If you're a christian and also a socialist, that doesn't mean you're doing liberation theology, it mostly just means you're a christian and also a socialist.
I’m not an expert, but I imagine liberation theology or “theologies of liberation” are a broad category of theologies mostly concerned with liberation.
Not really, there's christian socialism which is quite old and has been influential in some places, and there is islamic socialism, but liberation theology is usually just a specific thing influential mostly in south America, which synthesizes Catholic doctrine with socialist/marxist elements.
yeah...but I don't see why that wouldn't or couldn't influence people from other imperialized nations and be applied to their country culture and circumstance?
and I really don't know what to call those except theologies of liberation.

It can? Maybe? Maybe not? Like, that's not something people will decide here and it's not necessary either, it's just something that happens.

Just call them whatever they are. Or whatever they call themselves.

I'm not saying people here will decide, I am just saying I have heard the term liberation theology used outside of a south/latin american context.
