S an José de Apartadó, Antioquia declared itself a "neutral" peace community in 1997, during the Colombian armed conflict between guerrillas, paramilitaries, and security forces, raging in the Urabá region.For more than 30 years, the Community has managed to survive as the longest enduring peace community in Colombia, gaining domestic and international recognition.Based on five years of fieldwork in the 2010s (first, as a Peace Brigades International observer and, then, as a researcher and film producer and co-director), Gwen Burnyeat wrote Chocolate, Cacao, and Peace-building.Her goal is to understand the construction of the Community's collective identity through two key interpretive frameworks, the radical and the organic narratives.These narratives reflect the Community's rocky, tense relationship with the Colombian state as well as the environmentally sustainable cacao and chocolate production that supports the community economically.Together, they undergird the Community members' perceptions of the world and their collective identity as an alternative community.Drawing from Pierre Bourdieu's practice theory, Burnyeat argues that identity narratives are produced with and thorough everyday cultural practices such as tending cacao groves, residents' interactions with government and military officials and internal community meetings.Her approach is emic, not aspiring to generate another study of state discourses or an exportable model of peace-building or organic production.Rather, Burnyeat strives to understand residents and social movements in their own terms, situating her analysis in the Community members' worldviews, not those imposed on them by the state or outsiders.Hence, out of respect to residents' viewpoints, Burnyeat refers to San José de Apartadó as the "Community."Consistent with this grounded approach, the book shows that the Community's narratives and collective identity did not develop in isolation.Rather, they grew out of a specific historical context, including
