Building Peace for the Pluriverse explores how Indigenous, Afrocolombian, Black, Palenquero, Raizal, and Rrom activists in Colombia reshape state-led peacebuilding by challenging coloniality in peacebuilding and asserting ancestral epistemologies and worldings.
The book traces activists’ efforts in the wake of the 2016 peace agreement between FARC-EP and the Colombian government and the ethnic chapter included in it to build a peace that protects the pluriverse, grounded in ancestral ontologies and rooted epistemic resistance.
Drawing on long-term ethnographic collaboration with 22 ancestral activists, the book explores how they confront institutional barriers, redefine violence, and build a pluriversal peace that includes the more-than-human, highlighting their role as key experts for peacebuilding.
