The current article focuses on subaltern social groups’ efforts that emphasize the struggle of identity with purposes of cultural resistance and social change. Through a critical approach that incorporates the reality of “coloniality” as the context within leadership emerges, the article draws from the experience of a Native American organization in a middle-size city of the United States that uses identity as a resource to challenge the dominant Eurocentric social order. The construct of “decolonial leadership” is proposed to illuminate the emancipatory process of this organization that aims to decolonize society debunking myths and narratives imposed with the dominant social order and taking control of reality from their cultural perspectives and leadership approaches. A process of decolonial leadership creates spaces from which developing collective actions and sense-making processes that eventually contribute to building symbolic power to change the dominant social order. Using a sociological and anthropological lens that challenges leader-centered perspectives and focuses on the collective dimensions of leadership, the study contributes insights to both the social change and the indigenous leadership literature.

殖民主义领导者对文化的抵抗和社会变革:通过认同的斗争挑战社会秩序

本文主要关注次要社会群体的工作,这些工作强调了身份认同与文化抵抗和社会变革的斗争。通过在批判性领导中出现的情况下,结合“殖民地”现实的批评方法,本文借鉴了美国中型城市中美国原住民组织的经验,该组织使用身份作为资源来挑战统治者以欧洲为中心的社会秩序。提出了“殖民主义领导”的构想,以阐明该组织的解放进程,该组织的目的是非殖民化社会揭穿由主导社会秩序施加的神话和叙事,并从其文化视角和领导方式来控制现实。殖民统治的过程创造了空间,通过这些空间,人们可以开展集体行动和形成理性的过程,最终有助于建立象征性力量来改变主导的社会秩序。该研究使用一种社会学和人类学的视角来挑战以领导者为中心的观点并关注领导力的集体维度,从而为社会变革和本土领导力文献提供了见解。
