In this second edition of Coming Full Circle: The Process of Decolonization Among Post-1965 Filipino Americans, Professor EJR David writes a new FOREWORD and the author has a NEW INTRODUCTION. Coming Full Circle is about the healing of the Filipino colonized psyche through the recovery and re-imagination of Filipino identity and culture. It is about the emergence from the 'culture of silence' to critical consciousness that is able to develop new conceptualizations and frameworks about the Filipino American experience. Decolonization is a psychological process that enables the colonized to understand and overcome the depths of alienation and marginalization caused by the psychic and epistemic violence of colonization. Decolonization transforms the consciousness of the colonized through the reclamation of the Filipino cultural self and makes space for the recovery and healing of traumatic memory, and healing leading to different forms of activism. It is an open-ended process. It is a new way of seeing. As a way of healing, it is also a promise and a hope.

    To decolonize is a daily & radical pursuit for liberation.

    It is part of all of us.

    It is part of how we rise in the morning, and lay our heads down at night. It is in the way we raise our children, and in how we relate to others. It is in how we pray, and how we see the natural world. It is in how we work and create our livelihood. It is also in how we invest in our communities, our futures, and our world. Every day, you are doing some of the most radical work of self love and self care, and we are on this journey together.
