The 2016 peace process in Colombia represents a significant example of peacemaking innovation in which victims of political violence were given a seat at the negotiating table. Using this example, this book asks how, in the face of unrelenting barbarism and adversity, survivors assert agency and challenge those in power.

The book examines how survivors forge a path to bring an end to political violence while also crafting the effective means with which to reckon with the past and reconstitute their political and moral communities. Drawing on interviews and insights across various academic disciplines, the book proposes a victim-centred approach to transitional justice, valuable for both researchers and practitioners.
