Document Summary
Bridging theory: a critical and decolonizing approach to displacement and trauma. Anti-oppressive, praxis-oriented theoretical framework the role of capitalism in the displacement of indigenous communities. We critique not only national and international policies and economic policies and projects that lead to violence and displacement, but also broader racializing and gendered hegemonic processes that shape contemporary society. Decolonizing theory allows us to tie together critiques of colonialism and capitalism in order to envision the world differently, recognizing other non-capitalist, de-colonial forms of being in the world have existed and continue to exist. Certain groups of people are systematically affected by societal and state repression, violence and forced displacement. Theorizing these experiences requires people to examine displacement as an expression and outcome of capitalism, colonialism, violence and conflict. Parallels and differences in the experiences of refugees in canada and indigenous people in canada.
