Using bachata dance, this book formulates "decolonial spiritual care after religion" in order to recognize the colonial legacy of religion and expand the way spiritual care is understood.Though often discussed within postcolonial fields, the colonial histories of religion and spiritual care are not as frequent a talking point within religious circles. Chanmi Byun seeks to change that, affirming that spiritual care, as it is currently understood, needs to be decolonized. Adopting the metaphor of a genre of social dance called "bachata," Byun deconstructs the colonial understanding of religion, widening the definition of spiritual care to attend to the embodied reality of both the caregiver and the care receiver and a form of spiritual care that extends beyond the professional care setting. This book affirms that the way spiritual care is understood and practiced without interrogating the category of religion itself and its colonial legacy may not be sufficiently holistic to care for the multiplicity of people.
