This groundbreaking volume explores the capacity of Indigenous
psychologies to counter the effects of longstanding colonization on
traditional cultures and habitats. It chronicles the editor's
extensive research in the Lacandon Rainforest in southern Mexico,
illustrating respectful methodologies and authentic friendship-a
decolonized approach by a committed scholar-and the concerted
efforts of community members to preserve their history and
heritage. Descriptions of collaborations among children, parents,
students, and elders demonstrate the continued passing on of
indigenous knowledge, culture, art, and spirituality. This richly
layered narrative models cultural resilience and resistance in
their transformative power to replace environmental and cultural
degradation with co-existence and partnership. Included in the
coverage: * Indigenous psychologies: a contestation for epistemic
justice. * The ecological context and the methods of inquiry and
praxes. * Environmental impact assessment of deforestation in three
communities of the Lacandon Rainforest. * Public policy development
for community and ecological wellbeing. * Oral history, legends,
myths, poetry, and images. With stirring examples to inspire future
practices and policies, Indigenous Psychologies in an Era of
Decolonization will take its place as a bedrock text for indigenous
psychology and community psychology researchers. It speaks needed
truths as the world comes to grips with pressing issues of
environmental preservation, restorative justice for marginalized
peoples, and the waging of peace over conflict.
