This book is inspired by Acehnese scholar Eka Srimulyani’s appeal to bring ‘the sub-altern narrative and stories to the fore so the marginalized groups and perspectives can be brought to the discourse and common knowledge of the people’ and, in order to do so, it requires revisiting ‘the notion of agency and xplor[ing] the different agencies that were the sub-altern model or pattern to the fore by exploring the “herstories” and personal but political narratives’ (Srimulyani 2017, 92–93).In what ways does the focus on the everyday of peace-making, or the outcast, the invisible, challenge the narrative and ideals of a peace as success-ful, or a city as ‘built back better’? What alternative futures can those stories point towards? How does ethnographic and film documentarist storytelling provide ways for subaltern peace dialogue? How should we understand, ret-rospectively, what peace-making in the city entails? What messages are sent back to those whose handshakes made Helsinki, and the peace process globally celebrated as a sustained peace and ‘success story’? This book demonstrates that the success narrative of the peace mediation goes hand in hand with its aftermaths and the political, social, economic and experienced shades of the celebration, which Rahul Rao has recently called the ‘postcolonial strategy of countering orientalism by demonstrating the mutual constitution of core and periphery’ (Rao 2020, 21).Following the lives of people through their everyday experiences in the pro-vincial capital of Banda Aceh, this book offers insights into the relations of power and structures of violence that are embedded in the peace: layered exiles and displacement; narratives of violence and grief; struggles over gendered expectations of being good and respectable women and men; the hierarchical political economy of post-conflict and tsunami reconstruction; and multiple ways of arranging lives and remembrance, cherishing loved ones and forming caring and loving relationships outside the normative notions of nuclear family and home. This book aims to cover a number of scholarly fields and study areas: in particular, a crossroad of urban studies – the emerging field of everyday peace ethnographies, but also everyday Islamic studies, and that of the feminist post-conflict and post-disaster scholarship.
