Abstract
This chapter tests the empirical value of the concept of everyday life peacebuilding and its theoretical robustness in discovering features of everyday life peacebuilding by victims that are otherwise hidden. It emphasises, however, the importance of sociology’s linkage between agency and structure, for everyday life peacebuilding by victims is both constrained and facilitated by the structural conditions and circumstances victims’ everyday agency occurs within. A sociological understanding is thus necessary to locate the wider context that limits and empowers victims’ agency.
