- Abstract
"Framing a Revolution: Narrative Battles in Colombia's Civil War" by Rachel Schmidt is a book that explores the ongoing challenges faced by former combatants in Colombia's civil war, despite the peace treaty signed in 2016. The author argues that the narratives surrounding the conflict are crucial in understanding the war and achieving sustainable peace. The book examines four rhetorical struggles related to victimhood, revolution, loyalists and deserters, and reintegration. It also delves into the complexities of gender and campesino identity in the conflict. While the book offers valuable insights, it could benefit from further engagement with feminist security studies and recent research on Colombia. Overall, it is a worthwhile resource for those interested in feminist and interpretive approaches to understanding Colombia's peace process.
