This book presents cutting-edge research and theory in the emerging
field of the indigenous psychology of religion. Its authors examine
the influence of colonization and illustrate the use of novel
research methodologies utilised in studies with communities in
India, Korea, China, Indonesia, America, and Poland. Whereas
Western psychology has traditionally viewed religion through an
institutional lens and from a Euro-American perspective, this book
aims to facilitate an understanding of indigenous spiritualities on
their own terms and from the indigenous people's lived experience.
In doing so, the contributors seek to support indigenous
communities in the recovery of their voice, original vision, and
ancient practices, and to follow their yearning as echoed in T. S.
Eliot's words: "In my beginning is my end." The book is replete
with examples of this recovery of indigeneity in, for example,
Chinese notions of harmony and resilience; cultural differences in
hearing the voice of the divine; the influence of animism on
Christians in Korea; and in savoring the bereavement of loved ones.
This novel collection presents fresh insights for students and
scholars of the psychology of religion, indigenous studies,
cultural psychology, and anthropology.
