Feel the Grass Grow traces the far less visible aspects of moving from war to peace: the decades of campesino struggle to defend life, land, and territory prior to the national accord, as well as campesino social leaders' engagement with the challenges of the state's post-accord reconstruction efforts. In the words of the campesino peace activists, "peace is not signed, peace is built." Drawing on nearly a decade of extensive ethnographic and participatory research, Angela Jill Lederach advances a theory of "slow peace." Slowing down does not negate the urgency that animates the defense of territory in the context of the interlocking processes of political and environmental violence that persist in post-accord Colombia. Instead, Lederach shows how the campesino call to "slowness" recenters grassroots practices of peace, grounded in multigenerational struggles for territorial liberation. In examining the various layers of meaning embedded within campesino theories of "the times (los tiempos)," this book directs analytic attention to the holistic understanding of peacebuilding found among campesino social leaders. Their experiences of peacebuilding shape an understanding of time as embodied, affective, and emplaced. The call to slow peace gives primacy to the everyday, where relationships are deepened, ancestral memories reclaimed, and ecologies regenerated"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPeace-building$zColombia 606 $aPeasants$xPolitical activity$zColombia 606 $aPolitical violence$zColombia 610 $aColombia. 610 $aSlow peace. 610 $acampesino social movements. 610 $aenvironmental justice. 610 $aintersectionality. 610 $amultispecies ethnography. 610 $aparticipatory action research. 610 $apeacebuilding. 610 $atransitional justice. 610 $awar. 615 0$aPeace-building 615 0$aPeasants$xPolitical activity 615 0$aPolitical violence 676 $a303.6609861 700 $aLederach$b Angie$01740445 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910860869703321 996 $aFeel the Grass Grow$94166120 997 $aUNINA
