ReVision Journal features essays authored by CfBS elders
​Writings from CfBS elders Leny Mendoza Strobel, S. Lily Mendoza, and Jim Perkinson are featured in the Spring 2023 edition of ReVision journal. The edition focuses on the theme "Ethnoautobiography: Creating Decolonial Islands."
​​Revisioning, as the name ReVision hints, has been central to the publication’s forty year historical trajectory. As our understanding of the leading edge of transformative and consciousness-changing thinking has developed, so has the focus of the journal's mission.
​​
With a commitment to the future of humanity and all our relations, ReVision is dedicated to the exploration of issues that assert and value the transmotional and interconnected sovereignty of people before any institutions. Sovereignty and self-determination as foundations of peace require our human imagination as part of a sustainable world of stories and cultural practices in a particular place or ecology.

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.
