We reflect on decolonization and in particular the process of decolonizing our own minds. We discuss the need for radical decolonization of psychology and for critique of community psychology's relationship to both psychology and the Academy, noting ways in which community psychology itself becomes appropriated for the colonizing project of the Academy. Using collaborative autoethnography (CAE), a method that involves “collaborative poetics,” which chimes with the emphasis on participatory research in community psychology and the decolonialist emphasis on rescuing repressed epistemologies, we review our own careers and identify ways in which our values have been compromised and our work assimilated into wider colonizing and oppressive practices that sustain the modern university. We conclude that community psychology can only decolonize if it is positioned in an agonistic relationship to mainstream psychology and exists as a radical, explicitly political, and ethical practice outside the Academy. The message of the decolonization and disalienation movements is that the biggest barrier to our effectiveness, and to social justice, is the fascism of our minds. Succumbing to the power and privilege embedded in the Academy and the oppressive and colonizing practices that sustain it conflicts with community psychology's purported values.

学院中的殖民思想和社区心理学：协作的自我民族志反思

我们反思非殖民化，特别是我们自己思想的非殖民化过程。我们讨论了对心理学进行彻底非殖民化的必要性以及对社区心理学与心理学和学院的关系的批判，并指出了社区心理学本身被用于学院的殖民项目的方式。使用协作式自我民族志（CAE），一种涉及“协作诗学”的方法，它与社区心理学中的参与式研究和解殖民主义对拯救被压抑的认识论的强调相呼应，我们回顾了自己的职业生涯并确定了我们的价值观的方式妥协，我们的工作被同化为维持现代大学的更广泛的殖民和压迫性做法。我们的结论是，社区心理学只有在与主流心理学处于竞争关系中并且作为一种激进的、明确的政治和伦理实践存在于学院之外的情况下才能去殖民化。非殖民化和异化运动的信息是，我们的效率和社会正义的最大障碍是我们思想的法西斯主义。屈从于学院的权力和特权以及维持学院的压迫和殖民做法与社区心理学的所谓价值观相冲突。是我们心中的法西斯主义。屈从于学院的权力和特权以及维持学院的压迫和殖民做法与社区心理学的所谓价值观相冲突。是我们心中的法西斯主义。屈从于学院的权力和特权以及维持学院的压迫和殖民做法与社区心理学的所谓价值观相冲突。
