This chapter discussed the meaning and social representation of the Shona peace tradition, which is derived from an under-explored notion of peace as cosmic order, interdependence, harmony, and tranquility between spirits, humans, and the environment. The Shona peace tradition has deep institutional roots, many of which stem directly from pre-colonial customs in Zimbabwe, yet it has been overshadowed by the liberal peace. The government of Zimbabwe adopted liberal peace since independence in 1980, yet peace remains a pipe dream. This chapter explores the question of ‘What is peace?’ through the social representation lens of the liberal peace and Shona peace tradition using the concept analysis methodology. Findings revealed that the liberal peace and Shona peace tradition are at variance in terms of how each represents and conceptualizes peace? Liberal peace represents peace as a socio-economic and political good that trickles down from state institutions to community level. In contrast, in the Shona tradition, peace is represented as cosmic order, interdependence, harmony, and tranquility between spirits, humans and the environment, which are sanctioned by spiritual entities notably, God, and ancestral spirits. The community’s responsibility in collaboration with spirits is to sustain the sanctioned peace in everyday life. The chapter argues that Shona peace tradition should be embraced as it draws from the historical, cultural, and religious practices and everyday social practices on which conflict resolution and transformation initiatives in Zimbabwe can be grounded.
