Indigenous Psychologies: Resources for Future Histories

Indigenous psychologies: Resources for future histories. In D. McCallum (Ed.). The Palgrave handbook of the history of the human sciences (pp. 1065-185, 2022

The number and variety of Indigenous psychologies has grown immensely in the 75 years since the end of World War II. To date, there has been a dearth of histories of these psychologies, though brief descriptive historical introductions in articles are common. The approach of this chapter is to provide a critical rationale for understanding the challenges that face Indigenous psychologies, as well as the challenge of writing critical histories. Just as there are a multiplicity of Indigenous psychologies and many possible histories, so there are multiple rationales for writing histories of Indigenous psychologies. The chapter provides one intellectual and critical rationale based in decolonization approaches and decolonial theory that will be of use for future historians. The chapter also provides a substantial list of published resources to aid the development of future histories.

Calling for Scientific Revolution in Psychology: K. K. Hwang on Indigenous Psychologies

This interview with Kwang-Kuo Hwang offers an introductory insight into the emergence of the field of indigenous psychologies. In the process of doing so, it attempts to illuminate the main historical factors behind its development, its key issues of debate and the important challenges it faces. It also provides details pertaining to new theories and methods that have recently emerged in connection with the indigenous approach and how they have contributed to its advancement. In addition, it outlines Hwang’s proposed strategy towards the goal of developing a universal psychology. Keywords: Indigenous Psychologies; Culture; Psychological Theories

The Metaphysics of Decolonization: Healing Historical Trauma and Indigenous Liberation

The CLR James Journal, 2022

Decolonization is synonymous with liberation. It is invoked in multiple overlapping geopolitical projects that demand both the undoing of imperial-colonial structures and the amelioration of their effects. In his essay “Decolonizing Western Epistemology/ Building Decolonial Options,” Walter Mignolo describes decoloniality as a double-faced concept. Decolonization is a geopolitical project while decoloniality is an epistemological, political, and ethical process that enables decolonial futures (Mignolo 2011, 20). In this way, decoloniality is an analytical that critiques coloniality but also a generative utopian project that relies on decolonial epistemologies to materialize these futures. Like settler colonialism, coloniality is a structure that exceeds colonization and capitalism, expressing itself as modernity. It is the epistemic and hermeneutical processes of decoloniality that reveal ways of living and being—what Mignolo calls “living in harmony and reciprocity”—that ultimately build a nonimperial, noncapitalist world (Mignolo 2011, 25). In this article I put decolonial theory in conversation with Indigenous articulations of decolonization and religious life to illustrate what Indigenous decolonial futures may look like. I argue that reclamations of Indigenous metaphysical life regenerate Indigenous ontologies (intersubjective personhood) in ways that not only secure decolonial futures but also heal historical trauma, which can be understood as ontological dispossession.
