Decolonial Futures inspires an educational project of personal attention to decolonization. Christine Hong traces the depths and subtleties of different cultural and religious “intelligences” in ways that allow the reader to clearly identify her- or himself as a starting point for broadening the vision. Having taught in eurochristian schools of theology for some 45 years, I can recommend Hong’s book to all my eurochristian relatives who are struggling to de-center their own Whiteness and to decolonize their minds and their bodies from lifelong habits of privilege.
