The micropolitics of reconciliation in these communities present an example of postwar coexistence that deeply complicates the way we understand transitional justice, moral sensibilities, and social life in the aftermath of war. Though the internal conflict in Peru at the end of the twentieth century was incited and organized by insurgent Senderistas, the violence and destruction were carried out not only by Peruvian armed forces but also by civilians. These survivors, though fully aware of the potential danger posed by their neighbors, must nonetheless endeavor to live and labor alongside their intimate enemies.Drawing on years of research with communities in the highlands of Ayacucho, Kimberly Theidon explores how Peruvians are rebuilding both individual lives and collective existence following twent

Extraordinarily rich ethnography with insightful anthropological reflections. Bravo Alexander Extraordinarily rich ethnography with insightful anthropological reflections. Bravo!

For anyone who works on war, post-conflict reconstruction, and the complicated theme of how people live together again, then this is the book for you.
