Critical Reflexión and Plática~Testimonio/Haki~Shahadat: Enacting Decolonial Praxis of Solidarity from the Mexico-US Borders to Palestine
Hamzeh, Manal; Flores Carmona, Judith
Curriculum Inquiry, v52 n3 p266-274 2022
In this plática, we share how we have deployed the methodologies of critical reflexión and plática~testimonio/haki~shahadat, which helped us enact a decolonial praxis of solidarity with intentional acts that grounded us in border thinking and opened the possibilities of creating an otherwise of love and harmony. We illustrate a praxis of solidarity stemming from our negotiation of differences, experiences of each other/beside each other in different moments and different sites of resistance inside and outside academia. Part of this praxis is exemplified in our co-femtoring other colleagues, faculty, and graduate students of Color and co-teaching/co-creating digital testimonios in the classroom. We also illustrate an interdependent solidarity collaborating in a US Hispanic Serving Institution on Mexico-US borders and in Cairo, Egypt and co-teaching/co-learning Palestine historically and at another moment of genocide. Inside and outside academia, we do our solidarity expansively, in purposeful, reciprocal, interdependent ways.
