This chapter examines the transformative role of healing practices within diasporic Ghanaian and Afro-Surinamese communities, positioning them as acts of cultural and political resistance that transcend geographical and epistemological borders. It interrogates how these practices challenge and resist historical and systemic oppression, reframing healing beyond the individual therapeutic process to a collective, political, and cultural phenomenon. By moving beyond conventional Western frameworks, healing is a defiant and dynamic response to the marginalisation of non-Western knowledges, spiritualities, and practices of well-being. Based on life stories, the chapter explores how rituals, performances, and communal practices operate as sites of resistance, fostering solidarity, cultural continuity, and empowerment within diasporic contexts. These practices are crucial in understanding the intersections of health, identity, and power in postcolonial and transnational spaces, emphasising the evolving nature of healing beyond geographical and cultural confines.
