Together torn apart
The abstract is translated in Arabic below. We are two Palestinian healers, psychotherapists, community workers, activists, and researchers who strive to resist the deluge of Zionist settler-colonial violence and unending نكبة Nakba (“catastrophe”) waged against our people. We enact resistance and refusal by bringing the knowledges and practices that we treasure, which form a decolonial healing praxis, into the center of our work in Palestinian w…
Supervision as decolonial love
Settler colonialism dehumanizes and alienates Palestinians in everyday life, including in our Whitestream mental health research, practice, teaching, and supervision practices. In this article, we focus on sharing insights into our supervision praxis in Palestine. We, the coauthors of this article, are four Palestinian psychologists and therapists, living and working in the Diaspora (Devin and Hana), in the Palestinian territories occupied by the…
Rethinking Trauma Against a Genocidal World
Embodying Homeland
In this essay, the authors theorize that Israel's genocide of Palestinians teaches us that a central focus of colonialism is not simply to annex Native land and accumulate resources, but to also transmit anguish and grief into the bodies of the colonized and onto the landscape. Through an ongoing dialogue interwoven throughout the essay, the authors share their reflections on grief as holding liberatory potential in the face of the colonial weapo…

Perspectives on colonial violence “from below”
Decolonization unnamed
Beyond Grief
This essay is a Palestinian response to Judith Butler’s query about whether “we can mourn, without qualification, for the lives lost in Israel as well as those lost in Gaza,” published in the London Review of Books on October 13, 2023, in the midst of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. “We cannot mourn our dead,” the author writes in this essay, “because we cannot reach our flesh.” A diaspora Palestinian witnessing the genocide from afar,…
The trauma and learning policy initiative (TLPI)'s inquiry‐based process
Trauma is much more than our individual experiences. Fundamentally, trauma is rooted in our social conditions, interrelated with the oppression and violence in our communities and in societies at large. Trauma is knotted within cycles of harm in our relationships and in our communities and institutions. Not only are our communities and institutions sites of trauma, however, but they can also be sites of great healing, restoration, and resilience.…
Transnational Research Collectives as “Constellations of Co-Resistance”
Settler colonialism and coloniality dominate and dismember the truths, the bodies, and the lands of the colonized. Decolonization and decoloniality involve intergenerational, embodied, and emplaced pathways of resistance, rehumanization, healing, and transformation. In this article, we uplift the healing and transformative power of transnational stories and embodied knowledges that are rooted in four research collectives: the Palestinian Resilien…
Resilience, Adaptive Peacebuilding and Transitional Justice
Processes of post-war reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation are partly about fostering stability and adaptive capacity across different social systems. Nevertheless, these processes have seldom been expressly discussed within a resilience framework. Similarly, although the goals of transitional justice – among them (re)establishing the rule of law, delivering justice and aiding reconciliation – implicitly encompass a resilience element…
Creatively in Coalition” from Palestine to India
Colonialism and coloniality constitute the backbone of modernity. Colonial structures/systems are predicated on recurring patterns of domination and violence. Decolonial movements are rehumanizing and abolitionist projects guided by Global South peoples’ reimagining and reclaiming of what it means to be human. Decolonial praxes therefore require transnational efforts to decenter Whitestream academic institutions as hubs of knowledge production. I…
The resilience of Peruvian immigrants through participation in community‐based organizations in urban Chile
This study explores the situational elements related to the resilience of Peruvian immigrants in Santiago, Chile. Through extensive fieldwork with Santiago community‐based organizations, in‐depth semistructured interviews ( N = 18) completed with Peruvian leaders, and an innovative grounded theory situational analysis, a critical psychopolitical framework of community participation of Peruvian immigrants was generated. More specifically, three ma…
Centering at the Margins
Aims: This article aims to reframe resilience for use in community research and action in conditions of adversity marked by increasing natural disasters and by social inequities rooted in the coloniality of power, such as in Chile. Method: We review international resilience literature that explores responses to complex adversities, evaluating three “waves” of resilience research, including (1) “bouncing back,” which frames resilience as protectin…
Decolonizing qualitative research through transformative community engagement
Histories of violence and ongoing settler-colonialism impacting Palestinian communities living under Israeli occupation require unique, critical enactments of psychology research. The current article reflects on community engagement strategies used in a qualitative study of resilience with Palestinian refugees entitled: Palestinian Refugee Family Trees of Resilience (PRFTR). In realizing PRFTR, the authors developed partnerships between Universit…
Engaging critical community resilience praxis
Mapuche are the largest indigenous group in Chile and have survived histories of colonialism, socionatural disasters, and more recently, increasing conflicts with the Chilean state. This study aimed to engage critical theories and examine resilience processes from indigenous perspectives while exploring the impact of racism, intersecting adversities, and ongoing decolonial struggles in Mapuche communities. Decolonial qualitative methods, situatio…
Developing Equitable Primary Health Care in Conflict-Affected Settings
Health systems are frequently among the casualties of conflict. Within these settings, increased knowledge is needed on how to rebuild and strengthen health infrastructure resilience, such as primary health care (PHC) systems, in context-specific ways that promote health equity. Therefore, this study aimed to explore perspectives of experts with experience working on frontlines of social crises to contribute to understandings of pathways toward e…
A community-based qualitative study of intergenerational resilience with Palestinian refugee families facing structural violence and historical trauma
The purpose of this study was to explore resilience processes in Palestinian refugee families living under Israeli occupation for multiple generations. Qualitative methods, critical postcolonial theories, and community-based research approaches were used to examine intergenerational protective practices and to contribute to reconceptualizations of resilience from indigenous perspectives. First, the researcher developed a collaborative partnership…
