Healing From Colonization

Healing From Colonization addresses the profound and enduring harm caused by colonial practices, exploring pathways to recovery through the lenses of history and psychology. It delves into how colonialism extends beyond political domination, leaving deep psychological scars through forced assimilation and cultural disruption. A crucial insight is the importance of cultural revitalization, where reclaiming ancestral knowledge and traditions empowers communities to redefine their identities and resist cultural imperialism. The book argues that genuine healing requires a multifaceted approach, acknowledging historical trauma while actively dismantling colonial systems. It examines intergenerational trauma, highlighting how colonial violence has long-term consequences that affect successive generations. It also explores community-led initiatives focused on language preservation and cultural education. The book unfolds by first examining the psychological mechanisms of intergenerational trauma, then exploring cultural revitalization approaches, and finally analyzing decolonization strategies. By integrating historical context, cultural resurgence, and systemic interventions, Healing From Colonization offers a framework for holistic healing and provides concrete strategies for cultural revitalization and achieving Indigenous self-determination.
