Book Description:
How are our personal and communal histories and landscapes haunted by continuing Indigenous dispossession? How do we transform our colonizing self-perceptions, lifeways and structures, and how might we practice restorative solidarity with Indigenous communities today?
Healing Haunted Histories tackles the oldest and deepest injustices on the North American continent: violations that inhabit every intersection of settler and Indigenous worlds, and wounds inextricably woven into the fabric of our personal, communal, and political lives. It argues we can heal those wounds through the inward and outward journey of decolonization.
The authors write as, and for, settlers on this journey, exploring the places, peoples, and spirits that have formed (and deformed) us. Part memoir and family history, part social/historical/theological analysis, and part practical workbook, this process invites settler Christians (and other people of faith) into a discipleship of decolonization.
Other logistics:
Each session will feature a short presentation, small-group discussion, and large-group sharing. There will be reading and family/community heritage research between discussions.
