Chocolate, politics and peace-building: an ethnography of the peace community of San Jose de Apartado, Colombia

This work tells the story of the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó, an emblematic grassroots social movement of peasant farmers, who unusually declared themselves 'neutral' to Colombia's internal armed conflict, in the north-west region of Uraba.

It reveals two core narratives in the Community's collective identity, which Burnyeat calls the 'radical' and the 'organic' narratives.
