Abstract

At this moment in time, many are questioning what is needed to heal and transcend the harms left by the interconnected legacies of Afrikan enslavement, colonization, genocide and racist oppression. Never before have there been so many invocations to deliberate on and atone for the crimes against humanity suffered by Afrikans who were trafficked and enslaved, and their descendants. A call for repair and restitution are foremost among the proposals to redress these crimes against humanity. Among the multiple features of that repair is the recognized need for psychological and spiritual rehabilitation to enable Afrikan-descended people to re-centre or ground themselves culturally in, and spiritually to, the Afrikan Motherland through a process called ‘Rematriation’.
