| Sumario: | Based on the findings of peace research, this article emphasizes the significance and scope that indigenous, black, and peasant communities have given to peace and nonviolence in Colombia. These communities have no knowledge of the pacifist proposals of Gandhi, Martin Luther King, or Mandela, yet from their needs and self-processes have generated, appropriated, and fashioned, in perfect form, peace initiatives. These peace initiatives see peace as a defender of life, a civil resistance to armed conflict, autonomous protection, and a self-determination for these communities having to face armed actors, political participation, basic development, the progress for democracy, and the defense of culture, among others. Furthermore, these communities have shown Colombia is also a setting for peace, and peace is not solely created by the State and armed actors. But rather it is built by the bases of society, who organize in local settings, without resorting to weapons in order to lend meaning to the process. |
