Abstract

The interstitial space at the intersection of race and disability is primed for a decolonial analysis. By examining the colonial history of Indigenous people and Black chattel slaves in North America, this paper will show how the contemporary definitions of race and disability are inherited social constructs created for the colonizer's utility to control the bodies and minds of those occupying and working the land the colonizer seeks to control for the private accumulation of imperial wealth. I will give examples of how socio-cultural institutions like the church have inherited the logic of colonialism, creating ideologies of domination that must be challenged by a robust decolonial theology. Racism and ableism are the direct end product of a colonial view of the world that sees land and people as exploitable and expendable. A theology of liberation must grapple with the demands of decolonization to produce a just and equitable society.

解放被殖民的身心
种族与残疾交汇处的间隙空间是进行非殖民化分析的先决条件。通过研究北美洲土著居民和黑人奴隶的殖民历史,本文将展示当代种族和残疾的定义是如何继承了殖民者的社会建构,从而控制那些占领和耕作殖民者试图控制的土地的人们的身体和思想,以实现帝国财富的私人积累。我将举例说明教会等社会文化机构如何继承了殖民主义的逻辑,创造了统治意识形态,而这些意识形态必须受到强有力的非殖民主义神学的挑战。种族主义和能力主义是殖民主义世界观的直接产物,这种世界观认为土地和人民是可剥削和可消耗的。解放神学必须努力满足非殖民化的要求,以建立一个公正和公平的社会。
