This book explores the powerful role of ordinary people's agency in
times of violent conflict. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and a
Critical Discourse Analysis, the author draws out the motivations,
drivers and strategies at individual and community levels. With a
focus on people's own voices, this research highlights rich
findings showing a wide range of experiences and actions that
people engaged in during the violent conflict, and dimensions that
are often missed in dominant explanations of violent conflict.
Therefore, while looking at peace and conflict from an everyday
perspective, the question of power and the meaning of peace
knowledge become central. This monograph addresses the power of
people's agency not only in shaping the politics and dynamics of
violence, but also in redefining what 'peace' and 'change' ought to
look like. Essential reading for researchers and students of Peace
and Conflict Studies, and also International Relations, Security
Studies, Resistance Studies, Anthropology, Politics, International
Development.
