Insightful compilation of an under explored topic in the Colombian conflict

Bouvier's collection of essays on different peace initiatives at the local, regional and national level is an extremely helpful tool for the student, academic or practitioner. The book highlights many of the inspiring peace work going on in Colombia despite the odds. This book is a must read for those who hope to work on this conflict, or for those who want to get a deeper understanding of the peace initiatives in this country. In-depth, yet accessible to different publics, Building Peace in Time of War will hopefully broaden the current discourse on Colombia from one of war to one of peace.
