Decolonizing Ourselves. Reflections from a Personal Journey (en Inglés) - Carol J. Pierce Colfer

Beginning in 1955, when she moved at the age of nine to Ankara, Türkiye, Colfer traces a life shaped by encounters with a very different culture and the inequities it revealed. Combining autoethnography with an analysis of modern-day colonialism, she charts her changing understandings of the world, many of which were shared more broadly. The narrative highlights inequities at multiple scales and reflects on both the successes and shortcomings of her own efforts to address them. In doing so, it invites readers to examine their own lives in light of such injustices and to consider how to “make good trouble.”

Tracing a life shaped by movement between cultures, this book combines autoethnography and analysis of modern colonialism to examine inequality across contexts. It reflects on personal and structural change, inviting readers to consider their own positions within enduring systems of injustice.
