Abstract
ABSTRACT Frantz Fanon’s call to clear the “rot” of mental imperialism takes on even greater importance in light of emerging neuroscientific research regarding intergenerational trauma. Read through a decolonial theological lens, epigenetic trauma reveals that basic assumptions regarding the independent human person occlude foundational truths. Individuals are fundamentally connected to others in a way that can create ground for a thicker description of “shared humanity” and for liberatory practices of memory. Political theology provides a necessary space to forge theoretical and practical connections between the personal and political natures of race, trauma, and god-talk that are essential to move toward justice. Exploring multiple aspects of being – biological, decolonial, theological, future – I suggest that building communities of Christian enfleshed counter-memory is one potential path toward decolonizing theology and addressing the wounds of colonization through social transformation.
