Abstract

The author shares her decolonial journey in a personal manifesto. As a Puerto Rican born in the continental United States, but growing up in Borinquen (Puerto Rico’s Taíno name)—a colonized nation—the author embarks on a decolonial path addressing colonial mentality, coping in the diaspora, and thriving in the cultural borderlands. The author identifies social justice action as an antidote to coloniality and to oppression. Moreover, she discusses how her decolonization process helped her to develop and practice a radical feminist therapy. This healing approach integrates feminism of color, psycho-spirituality, and liberation psychology approaches.

摘要

作者在个人宣言中分享了她的去殖民之旅。作为一个出生在美国大陆，但在Borinquen（波多黎各的泰诺名字）——一个被殖民的国家——长大的波多黎各人，作者走上了一条解决殖民心态、应对侨民和在文化边境地区繁荣的非殖民主义道路。作者将社会正义行动确定为殖民主义和压迫的解毒剂。此外，她还讨论了她的非殖民化过程如何帮助她发展和实践激进的女权主义疗法。这种治疗方法整合了色彩的女权主义、心理灵性和解放心理学方法。
