This groundbreaking book delves into the emerging field of indigenous psychology of religion, offering cutting-edge research and theory. The authors examine the profound impact of colonization and showcase innovative research methodologies employed in studies conducted with communities in India, Korea, China, Indonesia, America, and Poland. Unlike Western psychology, which has traditionally approached religion through an institutional lens and a Euro-American perspective, this book aims to provide a holistic understanding of indigenous spiritualities from the indigenous peoples' lived experiences.
By doing so, the contributors strive to empower indigenous communities in reclaiming their voice, restoring their original vision, and reviving ancient practices, aligning with the yearning expressed by T.S. Eliot: "In my beginning is my end." The book is filled with inspiring examples of this recovery of indigeneity, such as Chinese notions of harmony and resilience, cultural variations in hearing the voice of the divine, the influence of animism on Christians in Korea, and the profound appreciation of bereavement among loved ones.
This comprehensive collection offers valuable insights for students and scholars of psychology of religion, indigenous studies, cultural psychology, and anthropology. It sheds light on the diverse ways in which indigenous peoples perceive and interpret religion, challenging prevailing Western perspectives and promoting a more inclusive and empathetic understanding of the world's spiritual traditions.
