Chocolate, Politics and Peace-Building

More about the book

Focusing on the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, the book explores how this grassroots movement of peasant farmers declared neutrality in Colombia's conflict. It examines two key narratives—'radical' and 'organic'—that shape their identity and perspectives on the state and their environment. Through the lens of their cacao-farming project, the study provides a fresh approach to understanding victims' organizations and social movements, making it crucial for those interested in Latin American ethnography, conflict resolution, and transitional justice.
