About the event
In 2016, the Peace Accords between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia–People's Army (FARC–EP) and the Colombian government promised to bring an end to over fifty years of armed conflict. Yet, despite widespread international acclaim and heavy investments in the peace process, war continued. In this book, Dest provides a rigorous reassessment of the terms of peacebuilding through an exploration of ongoing struggles for autonomy, based on over fifteen years of research and activism in Colombia.
Anthony Dest is currently Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Lehman College, City University of New York (CUNY).
