Decolonization Stories

What happens when a science teacher begins to hear voices - from chalkboards, from coconut trees, from ancestors who refuse to be silenced? The Science of Smoke and Memory is a lyrical journey through classrooms, dreams, and spiritual reckonings. Blending magical realism, Indigenous knowledge, and critical pedagogy, this story follows Keoni, a Pasifika educator navigating the fractured terrain of colonial science education. As he challenges what counts as knowledge, he discovers that decolonization isn't a destination - it's a dance. ✨ For readers of bell hooks, Thomas King, and those who believe storytelling is resistance. 🏷 #decolonization #education #magicalrealism #ownvoices #identity #criticalpedagogy

If a god loses his community, his rituals, and most records of his existence, what is left of him to call divine? On a windy beach in California, Mirasol finds a shipwrecked man and takes him to the hospital. With no phone, no ID, and barely any clothes after the sea got done with him, the most information they can get is that his name is Haik, and for lack of better options, he's discharged to Mirasol's place. Dark-skinned, covered in tattoos, and hailing from Australia, Haik is not the typical Filipino. He tells her stories of the Tagalogs' far past, a foreign and unknown country--and soon finds out that he is Haik the sea-god, constantly searching for his mortal wife, and they are both stuck in a loop of reincarnation after their whale-goddess daughter was stillborn. Unfortunately, she also finds out that he's an undocumented immigrant.

The empire demanded their blood. They chose their home. In the blood-soaked mud of 1916, the British Empire demands a devastating price from its distant colonies. But when the call for more ANZAC reinforcements reaches the Pacific, the thread snaps. Instead of compliance, the streets of Melbourne and Wellington explode into violent, anti-imperial riots. In a coordinated political coup, radical nationalist governments seize power, severing ties with the British Crown to forge a defiant new alliance: the United Commonwealth of Australia and the Republic of Aotearoa. Furious at the betrayal, the Royal Navy seals the borders with a brutal blockade, plunging the young nations into an agonizing war of survival. Returning soldiers face a shattering choice: uphold their oaths to a distant King, or defend the rugged shores of a newly independent homeland. To survive, the breakaway republics must form unprecedented alliances with indigenous leaders, rewriting the future of their land and striking a dangerous bargain with the Empire's enemies. From the desperate trenches of the Siege of Auckland to the clandestine nuclear labs of the Australian desert and the vibrant, decolonized cultural renaissance of the 1990s, the story charts an alternate century of defiance. Armed with an independent spirit, a proprietary digital frontier, and a nuclear deterrent, two nations stand completely unbowed-forever detached from the Crown, guarding the gateway to the Southern Hemisphere.
