Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the implications of race critical and decolonial theories for peace and conflict studies. It critiques dominant epistemological frames in the field that overlook coloniality and racial capitalist violence while emphasizing human rights and universalism. The detachment of human rights from racial history is explored to reveal the coloniality of peace. The concept of ‘disturbing the disciplinary peace' is introduced, drawing on Sara Ahmed's figure of the ‘feminist killjoy’, to disrupt Western liberal peace through racial justice movements. Insights from decolonial thinkers and Indigenous resistance in Aotearoa are explored, challenging liberal human rights and offering prospects for pluriversal peace.
