Decolonizing the Spirit in Education and Beyond: Resistance and Solidarity

Abstract

Abstract If the wellbeing of the body, mind and soul is connected to the spirit, what is to be gained by decolonizing that spirit which has lost its connection to indigenous land? The bargain of coloniality is trading the knowledge residing in our bodies for the as-yet unfulfilled promise of universality. The decolonized spirit reaches across the abyssal line to starkly reveal complicity, just as it democratizes our long-held notions of agency.
