“The Difficult Art of Decolonial Love: On Grief, Outliving, and Healing Together”
摘要
This chapter takes up Raymond Tallis’ “difficult art of outliving” while extending it through Black and Indigenous traditions of grief. Breeshia Wade’s Grieving While Black shows how mourning under white supremacy emerges as fear, anger, and aspiration, while Gitxsan limx ooy’ memorial songs transform loss from gencoide into jurisprudence, grounding House families in law, land, and ancestral presence. These traditions reveal grief not as an interruption but as an intimate part of healing that endures across generations, refusing erasure and affirming relation. We offer decolonial love as an invitation: to honour grief, transform solitary lament into collective care, and so imagine renewal together.
