Decolonization and “Mental” Health: A Mestiza's Journey in the Borderlands

Abstract

This article introduces the contributions of the Latin American decolonizing paradigm as a framework to understand Latina's hybrid experiences and ways of being in the U.S. and Latin America. It integrates borderland epistemology to address other knowledges involving mental health practices with case illustrations. In addition, it advances the need to integrate the notions of cultural equity and cultural humility as a way to address contemporary discourses on culture and mental health from a decolonizing paradigm.
