{"product_id":"elusive-justice-donny-meertens-9780299325602","title":"Elusive Justice: Women, Land Rights, and Colombia's Transition to Peace","description":"Fifty years of violence perpetrated by guerrillas, paramilitaries, and official armed forces in Colombia displaced more than six million people. In 2011, as part of a larger transitional justice process, the Colombian government approved a law that would restore land rights for those who lost their homes during the conflicts. However, this restitution process lacked appropriate provisions for rural women beyond granting them a formal property title. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on decades of research, \u003ci\u003eElusive Justice\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how these women continue to face numerous adverse circumstances, including geographical isolation, encroaching capitalist enterprises, and a dearth of social and institutional support. Donny Meertens contends that women's advocacy organizations must have a prominent role in overseeing these transitional policies in order to create a more just society. By bringing together the underresearched topic of property repayment and the pursuit of gender justice in peacebuilding, these findings have broad significance elsewhere in the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donny Meertens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299325601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299325602\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Donny Meertens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058677674239,"sku":"9780299325602","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfbdea57-a80a-43c5-916f-8b3d699d224c.jpg?v=1685053936","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elusive-justice-donny-meertens-9780299325602","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
