Not quite on the topic of the text but..
I often wonder about this is the context of pacific Island cultures. Christianity is a huge part of community and cultural life in many PI countries. As something that was originally imposed on their ancestors by colonisers, does the work of de-colonisation also have to include a re-evaluation of religion?
- Hexayurt 6y agoBad there. 1000 times worse in India, relative to both Christianity and Islam, and with the great aggravating force of Yogi Adityanath pouring salt into those wounds. I know of no framework to look at that question which isn't basically just a bunch more questions: in Scandinavia there are old pagan branches coming back up, Latvia too - but was the original tradition lost and they're neopagans, or was it alive on the farms and it's now coming back above the surface. It's like financial reparations: once you begin, where do you end? I grew up in the West. I'm glad it's not my fight, I'd sweat hard finding a position! Good question.
