Colonialism and coloniality constitute the backbone of modernity. Colonial structures/systems are predicated on recurring patterns of domination and violence. Decolonial movements are rehumanizing and abolitionist projects guided by Global South peoples’ reimagining and reclaiming of what it means to be human. Decolonial praxes therefore require transnational efforts to decenter Whitestream academic institutions as hubs of knowledge production. In light of this, we question the boundaries of what we consider to be research in psychology as we walk in the legacies of struggle and survival—of our grandmothers and grandfathers, and so many ancestors who never used the word “decolonial”. Weaving together stories of refusal and community grounded on our work in Palestine and India, we demonstrate how our decolonial strivings require us to continuously rediscover ways of being present, being in struggle, and being human together as we work ‘‘creatively in coalition’’ with our communities. Through our stories of accompaniment, and bringing them into conversation with each other, we disrupt violent, colonially-configured borders. In our world-making coalitions and the writing of this article, we turn to a praxis that allows for the revisioning of justice as irresistible and interlinked, ungovernable and in defiance of borders and walls.

从巴勒斯坦到印度的“创造性联盟”:编织拒绝和社区的故事作为非殖民实践

殖民主义和殖民主义构成了现代性的支柱。殖民结构/系统以反复出现的统治和暴力模式为基础。非殖民运动是在全球南方人民重新构想和恢复作为人类的意义的指导下进行的重新人性化和废除主义项目。因此,非殖民主义实践需要跨国努力,将 Whitestream 学术机构分散为知识生产的中心。有鉴于此,当我们走在斗争和生存的遗产中时,我们质疑我们认为的心理学研究的界限——我们的祖母和祖父,以及许多从未使用过“非殖民主义”这个词的祖先。以我们在巴勒斯坦和印度的工作为基础,将拒绝和社区的故事编织在一起,我们展示了我们的非殖民主义努力如何要求我们在与我们的社区“创造性地联合”工作时,不断地重新发现存在、斗争和成为人类的方式。通过我们的陪伴故事,并让他们相互交谈,我们破坏了暴力的、殖民配置的边界。在我们创造世界的联盟和本文的写作中,我们转向了一种实践,它允许将正义修改为不可抗拒和相互关联的、不可治理的和无视边界和围墙的。
