Beschreibung
This book offers a critical examination of how colonial power structures are reproduced and contested within the peace process between the Colombian Government and the FARC-EP. It explores how struggles over peace and territory shape - and are shaped by - deep ontological conflicts, and how different actors mobilize their visions of "territorial peace" to either reinforce or confront colonial logics. The book advances an analysis of "the coloniality of peace" in Colombia, as well as of ontological struggles to confront it, including ethnic-territorial struggles for the recognition of territory as a subject of rights within the transitional justice system established by the 2016 Peace Agreement. It provides conceptual and analytical tools to rethink the relationship between power, territory, pluriversality, and peace in contexts marked by coloniality.
