N2 - This chapter takes an anthropologically informed look at local efforts to restore social relations and reintegrate society after mass violence in Maluku, Eastern Indonesia, and argues for the need to develop and understand peace from within. The long-term engagement with a particular region allows the author to provide insights into the challenges of the cultural mobilization for peace and into the longevity of dynamics that creatively transform peacebuilding into broader struggles for social justice. The rootedness of such engagement in people’s everyday lives and in local culture, values and societal dynamics, enables Moluccans to embody peace through their daily experiences. The empirical evidence substantiates the need to conceptualize peacebuilding in a broader sense, to engage in longer-term research on peace processes to understand the intricacies and dynamics of societies in search for peace and to further promote a cultural turn in peace and conflict studies.
