Ethnoautobiography: Creating Decolonial Islands

Jürgen Werner Kremer, Editor

The history of the primal trauma of “the West” has created dissociations in (post)modern people; that is, it splits from sources that can nurture a sense of self woven into communal earth connections. We find such interconnections and entanglements throughout the rich diversity of Indigenous traditions the world over.

Ethnoautobiography (Kremer & Jackson-Paton, 2014) is a form of inquiry designed to remember and reconnect with a sense of self in place that is the hallmark of decolonial lives and practices. It is a form of personal inquiry as well as a research approach. It facilitates personal as well as cultural healing.

Ethnoautobiography catalyzes an identity process outside of the bounds of the Western individualistic and masterful sense of self. This issue offers examples of ethnoautobiographical explorations as well as reflections on the recovery of an indigenous mind process using ethnoautobiography.
