The book dismantles prevalent misconceptions surrounding Indigenous peoples’ epistemologies on peace, arguing that the peace epistemologies which Indigenous peoples have built do not correspond to the past but are changing, living theories created and recreated through praxis. By examining the knowledge that members of the National Coordination of Indigenous Women (CONAMI) have built through their collective struggle in favor of Indigenous self-determination, this work illustrates how Indigenous women play a central role in revitalizing the worldviews of their peoples and fostering social change.

Drawing on detailed interviews with her protagonists and informed by various peace and conflict frameworks, Vences Estudillo demonstrates how Indigenous women fashioned their shared resistance to oppressive relations and structures into equitable practices and catalyzed social change through the “vernacularization of peace knowledges.” Highlighting the struggles, setbacks, and triumphs of Indigenous women, this ethnographically rich, theoretically nuanced, and empirically grounded book is essential reading for anyone who wants to learn from people spending their life’s energy making the world a better place.
