This chapter examines the concept of, and the literature, on everyday peace. It regards everyday peace as the actions, activities, interactions, and communications of those living in violence-affected and deeply divided societies, which are oriented towards safety, security, building collective responses, and navigating insecurity. The chapter conceptualises everyday peace, examines its interdisciplinary roots, and notes the proliferation of academic literature on the concept. It also notes how this upsurge in the literature has also prompted a critique of the concept and practices associated with it. A key critique revolves around the need to guard against romanticising the everyday. The chapter ends with a defence of the everyday as a unit of analysis given the dominance of top-down and state-centric viewpoints and programming.
