Rethinking the Phenomenological Response of Anger to the Coloniality of Hate
摘要
In the face of violence, and structures of marginality, humanity has mostly turned to violence as a legitimate response to address such violence. Hence, human history is saturated with revolutions, resistance, and sometimes, genocides as a way to address historical injustices. A close look at such responses shows a similar logic defining how the human person is understood. For the oppressor, the oppressed is less human, hence their right to mistreat them. For the oppressed who results to violence to correct the violence they themselves experience at the hands of the oppressor, the oppressor is less human. How can society escape from these violent extremes that continue to uphold violence as a legitimate way of being human in the world? This chapter makes a case for an alternative response to systems and structures of marginalization by arguing for a spirituality of anger.
