"Healing Haunted Histories: A Settler Discipleship of Decolonization" by Elaine Enns and Ched Myers is a challenging book aimed at white and Christian readers, urging them to confront their presumptions and entitlements as beneficiaries of white privilege. The book is organized into three themes - landlines, bloodlines, and songlines - which are used to tell Enns' family story as a case study. The authors explore how settlers can come to terms with the legacy of North American conquest, accept its destructive truth, and begin the work of emancipation and repairing relationships with indigenous peoples. The book provides tools for collective learning, including lineages, queries, theological interludes, and vocabulary to help readers navigate their own experiences and work towards restorative solidarity.
