Overview

This book critically examines community resilience within peace and conflict studies. By focusing on the complexities of resilience in the ayóm-ayómic political order in the Philippines, it shows how memories, experiences and intergenerational dialogue shape resilience strategies across time and space. Through theoretical analysis and case studies, the book challenges conventional understandings of resilience by highlighting its complex intersections with agency, resistance, and political survival. It delves into the role of resource scarcity, trauma, and shifting socio-political landscapes in shaping resilience strategies, offering a nuanced perspective beyond its often-romanticized portrayal. By bridging theoretical debates with real-world insights, it provides a fresh framework for understanding resilience as both a political and social process. This book is an essential resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in peacebuilding, governance, and conflict transformation.
